It is intended for Latin America-based scholars, researchers and practitioners working in academic, non-governmental, and government organizations who carry out analyses related to governance, policy, and development issues. This training curriculum is based on accumulated knowledge from past workshops, as collected in the online coursebook: The Theory and Practice of Field Experiments: An Introduction from the EGAP Learning Days. 

The workshop is organized by Hub’s Co-Directors Leopoldo Fergusson and Santiago Tobón and advised by Methods & Training Co-Directors Nahomi Ichino and Jake Bowers.

Doctoral Dissertation Camp

July 26, 2025

Doctoral Dissertation Camp

As part of our training program at Universidad Católica del Uruguay, we also partnered with TREES (Teaching and Researching Equitable Economics from the South) to also host a one-day Doctoral Dissertation Camp on July 26, 2025, designed for PhD students from across Latin America who are interested in receiving valuable and constructive feedback on their dissertation projects.

The primary goal of the camp is to provide a collaborative and supportive environment where participants can present their progress, exchange ideas with peers, and receive direct guidance from distinguished experts in the Global EGAP network.
