Call for Submissions: YSI Pre-Meeting GeFam - Mentoring Session on Research and Career
Date: September 25, 2024
Location: Insper, São Paulo, Brazil
Submission Deadline: July 25
We are thrilled to announce that submissions for extended abstracts or papers are now open for our 1st GeFam Mentoring Session on Research and Career, scheduled for September 25, preceding the 5th GeFam Meeting. This event is generously supported by the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) and provides a fantastic opportunity for selected students to enhance their research and career prospects.
The mentorship will be divided into two phases. In the first phase, participants will be organized into subgroups, where each mentor (both senior and junior researchers from GeFam) will discuss specific topics related to a career in economics. In the second phase, selected students will receive personalized feedback from their mentors on their research. Don’t miss this opportunity to enrich your academic and professional experience!
FUNDING
We are providing financial support to cover travel and accommodation expenses for selected Brazilian participants. This funding will enable beneficiaries to attend both the mentoring session on September 25 and the 5th GeFam Meeting, which will take place from September 26 to 28. We will prioritize candidates from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, as well as black, mixed and indigenous students. Travel expenses will be reimbursed directly by YSI to the selected participants. We will manage the accommodation reservations and payments. The reimbursement timing for travel expenses depends on coordination between the selected participants and YSI, and may occur either before or after the event.
SUBMISSIONS
If you have already submitted your paper for the conference and are interested in the pre-event and additional funding, please resubmit your paper. If you have not yet submitted a paper for the 5th GeFam Meeting and wish to apply for funding to participate in both the mentoring session and the meeting (the latter as attendee), please send an extended abstract or paper. The abstract should include up to 600 words, covering the objective, description of the data (if the work is empirical), methodology, and expected results. Selected students will be announced by August 5th, 2024. Ensure that your submission is complete with all necessary information. Prepare for an experience that promises to significantly enrich your academic and professional journey.

São Paulo is the largest metropolis in Brazil and one of the largest in the world, with a population made up of almost 12 million inhabitants. It unites culture and diversity in most varied attractions, being a city that never sleeps. During the period of the event (September/2023), we will be at the beginning of spring, where we can expect pleasant temperatures between 18º and 31ºC and dry weather. The electrical voltage in the city is 127V and follows the Brazilian standard of a 3-pin socket (NBR 14136).
How to Get to São Paulo
São Paulo has two main airports: Congonhas Airport / CGH - located in the south zone of the city, approximately 8 km from downtown and 6 km from Insper and the Guarulhos International Airport / GRU - located in the city of Guarulhos, approximately 25km from São Paulo’s downtown and 38km from Insper.
In addition to the airports, São Paulo has some bus terminals, Tietê being the main one. Located in the north zone, it is approximately 6 km from downtown and 14 km from Insper.
For those arriving by car, the main accesses to the city of São Paulo are: Anchieta (SP-150) and Imigrantes (SP-160), connecting with Port of Santos; Bandeirantes (SP-348), that connects São Paulo to the city of Campinas; Castelo Branco (SP-280), that intersects several cities of the state of São Paulo; Anhanguera (SP-330), for those who comes from Uberlândia and the Federal District; Fernão Dias (BR-381), that connects São Paulo and Minas Gerais states; Ayrton Senna (SP-070) and Presidente Dutra (BR-116), connecting to Rio de Janeiro; and Régis Bittencourt (BR-116), that goes to the South region of Brazil.
Security Tips
Like many metropolises and tourist cities, São Paulo is not the most peaceful place in the world in regards to security. So watch your step. Do not carry jewelry or objects that may attract attention, do not leave your purse unattended and carry it next to your body, avoid leaving your wallet in your pocket, especially in crowded areas (there are many pickpockets) and avoid using your cell phone unnecessarily, paying close attention to your surroundings. Never throw caution to the wind.
