Our target audience is current or recent students who have completed at least one year of a PhD program in economics or related fields. Acceptance, however, is not guaranteed. 

To register, we ask for:

  1. A very short statement (not a recommendation letter) from an academic advisor or administrator on his/her official letterhead certifying that you are regularly enrolled in a PhD program, or proof of completion of a PhD, as applicable; and
  2. A maximum two-minute video in which you introduce yourself and explain what you hope to gain from this class. This doesn’t need to be super elaborate, but should be substantive and tell us who you are and how this will benefit you. You can take the video on a smart phone.

This form needs to be submitted by January 9th, 2026.

Acceptance decisions will be announced by late January.

Please note: The following application portal will ask you to sign into a Google account. If you do not have a Google account or cannot take or upload a video, please contact courses@ifp.org and we will provide you an alternative way to submit your materials.
