Organized by the Society for Environmental Economics and Policy Studies(SEEPS)In 2021, the Society for Environmental Economics and Policy Studies (SEEPS) launched
a new event called the SEEPS Camp. Following the success of the SEEPS Camp 2021,
we are happy to announce that we will organize the SEEPS Camp 2022 in March. The
purpose of the Camp is to bring together a small group of outstanding PhD students andyoung researchers who will lead the SEEPS in the future and to provide them withopportunities to interact with each other. The SEEPS Camp is expected to be a platform
for young researchers who engage in environmental economics and policy studies tomeet and encourage each other.
Ten participants will present their research plans or outcomes and exchange ideas. They
will have an opportunity to join a panel session with mid-career members of the SEEPS
who will share how to develop an academic career, and they will also have time to talkwith the participants.
The Camp 2022 will be held online. In the future, we plan to organize the Camp in person
for two days.
