The CEPR’s European Research Workshop in International Trade (ERWIT) 2021 is to be held in Milan from 20 to 22 October 2021. It is organised in cooperation with Università degli Studi di Milano, Centro Studi Luca d’Agliano, the Baffi Carefin Centre of Bocconi University and MICROPROD.

ERWIT is an annual workshop that brings together international economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region.

If the workshop can take place physically, it will run for 3 full days from Wednesday 20 October until Friday 22 October. The afternoon of Friday 22 October will be dedicated to MICROPROD.
