On December 10th at 12 noon (in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Business and Economics) the ECO-SOS Converses session entitled "Competition policy for the benefit of the consumer" will take place with Susanna Grau, Director General of the Catalan Competition Authority (ACCO).

ECO-SOS Doctorials is a workshop designed to improve the training of doctoral students and disseminate their research activities. Specifically, they can present standard papers (20-minute presentation) and research ideas (5-minute presentation). In addition, there is also a presentation by a senior ECO-SOS researcher with the aim of explaining his/her research.

This event takes place twice a year: before the PhD Workshop on Industrial and Public Economics (WIPE), in December, to serve as training for participating students, and before the summer, also as a training before the period in which most conferences and workshops are scheduled.

The 9th ECO-SOS Doctorals will be held on December 12 at the Faculty of Business and Economics of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, in Reus. In this edition we will have 6 doctoral students who will present their research and we will have a final presentation "Returns to skills: is it more important where you learn them than what you learn?" by Ferran Mañé, senior member of the Department of Economics.

The format of presentation will be seminar type (25-30 min + final questions).
