European Horizons Midwest Regional Conference

This is a bit out of the ordinary for around here, but perhaps this event (organized by a student here I know well) will be of interest to some readers (undergraduate or graduate students):

The European Horizons Midwest Regional Conference (MRC) application is now live and open to all undergraduate and graduate students!

This is a great opportunity to meet other students interested in European policy in the Midwest and to meet experts in their fields. The conference will include guest speakers including Gossen prize winner and U of C Professor of Economics, Harald Uhlig, and Nils Ringe, Professor of Political Science at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The conference will take place April 6th-8th at the University of Chicago and, pending funding, transportation may be subsidized. Lodging will be provided both nights and food will be provided for.

Fill out this brief application due Wednesday, February 28th to be considered:
