The LIS Introductory Summer Workshop
The LIS Introductory Summer Workshop, held in Luxembourg, is a one-week intensive course designed to introduce researchers in the social sciences to comparative research on income distribution, employment and social policy, using the Luxembourg Income Study Database (LIS) and the Luxembourg Wealth Study Database (LWS).
- The workshop format includes a mix of lectures on comparative research, laboratory sessions and individual one-on-one advisory sessions. The 2025 programme is available here.
- Workshop faculty includes the LIS Director, Peter Lanjouw, the LIS staff and guest lecturers.
- Winners of the annual Aldi Hagenaars Memorial Award will present their papers.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will be fully trained to use the databases independently and will have had the opportunity to work and be advised on their own project.
