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.
