J-PAL Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) announces the second edition of the Early Work Seminars, which is dedicated to supporting the research of scholars working on randomized impact evaluations in the region. In this edition, we invite scholars working on impact evaluations of early childhood development or education programs in LAC to submit their research. We particularly welcome submissions on interventions for promoting investments in skills, knowledge, and health to shape children's future trajectories, helping them reach their full potential.

The second edition of the Early Work Seminars seminars will provide an academic forum where researchers can present their early-stage work in randomized evaluations, and receive valuable feedback from scholars from the J-PAL research network. This will allow early career researchers to refine their work and foster collaborative relationships that drive forward the knowledge frontier in the region. We call scholars to apply and submit their research proposals.
