CEPS/INSTEAD research centre is organizing an international workshop on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its Visiting Researchers Programme IRISS-C/I. The workshop will take place at the Castle of Differdange, courtesy of the Miami University Dolibois European Campus (MUDEC) in Luxembourg.

The key objective of the workshop is to bring together economists and other social science researchers active in the theme of the workshop, to present and discuss recent developments and applications in this field. Secondly, the workshop will also be the opportunity to meet with members of the scientific IRISS-C/I evaluation committee and former visitors to report on activities and discuss future developments of the visitors programme. This event is also tied to CEPS/INSTEAD’s MeDIM project (Advances in the measurement of discrimination, inequality and mobility).

The organization of this workshop is possible through the support of the Fonds National de la Recherche of Luxembourg (FNR) and the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Program (FP6).
