A PhD student may not participate in nor apply for both EFA Doctoral Events (EFA-DT | EFA-DW) in the same year since these two full-day pre-conference sessions run in parallel on the same day.

Eligibility:

Doctoral students in Finance who are in the second or third years of their PhDs are welcome to apply for the 2021 EFA-DW.

EFA Membership & Conference Registration

PhD students submitting applications for the EFA Doctoral Workshop do not have to be current EFA members to be eligible for this event. However, those students whose applications are accepted for the 2021 EFA-DW will each receive a complimentary EFA membership for the current calendar year (if not already a member) and free registration for the 48th EFA Annual Meeting (which is a members-only event) to enable them to participate.
