Feedback from participants:

• I would recommend this conference to any young economist who would like to present their work as it provided a comfortable and engaged platform to discuss research and receive invaluable feedback.
• The organization was extremely professional and the atmosphere allowed the participants to exchange ideas efficiently. The sessions were very well planned - it was clear that the organizers had considered the subject matter carefully before scheduling the order of the presentations. All in all, I was very happy with the event and I hope that it will return next year.
• Very impressive how a first-time event could attract so many good presentations and participants from so many different countries!
  
• Very good organization, and interesting sessions, useful experience.
