From July 7 to July 17, 2008, the DIA (German Institute for Retirement Savings) will sponsor the first International Summer School in Behavioral Economics and Retirement Savings at the University of Muenster, Germany.
Local organizers are Thomas Langer and Alexander Klos (both University of Muenster). Among the invited speakers will be David Laibson (Harvard University), Martin Weber (University of Mannheim), Cade Massey (Yale University), and others.
At most twenty participants, graduate students and beginning faculty, will be invited to join the summer school. The DIA Research Group will cover most participant costs during the event, including housing and most meals. A capped travel stipend (600 Euro, US-$ 950) will also be provided.
I am not aware of a web-link for this summer-school, so I will present the additional information, including submission details, in a comment on this post...
