2026 Summer Institute in Economic Geography
The 12th annual Summer Institute in Economic Geography takes place in Toronto in July 2026. The institute takes a unique approach to advanced training, mentoring, and professional development for early-career researchers entering the field of economic geography by bringing together active young researchers from around the world and a small group of international faculty. It seeks to invigorate discussions and explore controversies across a diverse community, and to facilitate network-building, respect and understanding amongst the rising generation of economic geographers, many of whom have transitioned into successful careers in universities, research institutes, and the public and private sectors.
