The Summer Institute in Economic Geography will bring together 40 advanced graduate students and early career scholars from around the world with a small group of internationally renowned faculty to advance scholarship, understanding and knowledge creation in the field of economic geography. The intensive nature of the meeting will enable the participants to assess state-of-the-art developments in the field, to identify major questions and challenges, and to collectively shape the future research agenda for the next generation of scholars and educators. This project takes place at a time of widespread uncertainty about the current state and future prospects of the global economy and the place of the United States within it. In bringing together an extended network of junior scholars and internationally renowned faculty the depth and rigor of the discussions will further the development of collaborative research designed to better understand the dynamics of the global economy, inform policy making in local, national and international contexts and inform our knowledge and understanding of the volatility that is the hallmark of the contemporary global economy.The event involves a unique blend of professional development and scholarly inquiry, with an orientation to breaking issues in the field. Topics to be addressed include: assessments of the implications of financial innovation and volatility; the evolving relationship between global economic growth and the environment; making academic work relevant to policy and policy-making; research ethics, funding strategies, and new developments in methodological practice; planning for research-intensive careers; strategies for publication and dissemination; and the effective linkage of academic research to teaching, service, and education. The event will provide training and professional preparation for a distinguished, international group of early-career scholars and educators, providing foundations for the deepening of professional networks and for new collaborations in research and teaching. At a time of significant challenges in the economic policymaking environment and the continued intensification of international competition, the Summer Institute in Economic Geography is focused on building the shared and individual capacities of a new generation of researchers, who experience shows will themselves become leaders in the field over the coming decade.

经济地理学夏季学院将汇集来自世界各地的40名高级研究生和早期职业学者，以及一小群国际知名的教师，以促进经济地理领域的学术研究、理解和知识创造。会议的密集性质将使与会者能够评估该领域的最新发展，确定主要问题和挑战，并共同为下一代学者和教育工作者制定未来的研究议程。这个项目是在全球经济的现状和未来前景以及美国在其中的地位普遍不确定的情况下进行的。通过将初级学者和国际知名教师组成的广泛网络聚集在一起，讨论的深度和严谨性将进一步发展合作研究，旨在更好地了解全球经济的动态，为本地、国家和国际背景下的政策制定提供信息，并使我们了解和理解作为当代全球经济标志的波动性。此次活动涉及专业发展和学术研究的独特结合，旨在解决该领域的突破性问题。将讨论的主题包括：评估金融创新和波动的影响；全球经济增长和环境之间不断变化的关系；使学术工作与政策和政策制定相关；研究伦理、资助战略和方法实践的新发展；研究密集型职业的规划；出版和传播战略；以及学术研究与教学、服务和教育的有效联系。该活动将为一批杰出的国际早期学者和教育工作者提供培训和专业准备，为深化专业网络和在研究和教学方面开展新的合作奠定基础。在经济决策环境面临重大挑战和国际竞争继续加剧的情况下，经济地理夏季研究所的重点是建设新一代研究人员的共同能力和个人能力，他们的经验表明，他们自己将在未来十年成为该领域的领导者。
