The Global Labor Organization (GLO) is pleased to announce a call for submissions for its annual conference (GLO JOPE Bonn 2025), which will be held from December 3-5, 2025 online and in-person in Bonn/Germany. Affiliated to this conference are online Job Market Sessions for young scholars, which have been very successful in previous years. The submission deadline for these sessions is November 14, 2025.
GLO Young Scholars Program invites job market candidates (PhD students or postdocs currently on the market in North America, Europe or Asia) to submit their research for presentation in dedicated job market sessions. This is a valuable opportunity to showcase your work and gain exposure in a supportive and high-profile environment. A special Q&A mentoring session for the selected presenters will take place after the presentations.
Session Focus: The job market sessions will focus on research related to labor, demography, health, or human resources broadly defined. We welcome submissions from candidates in all related disciplines.
Submission Requirements: Proposals must include:
- A paper or extended abstract of one’s Job Market Paper
- A CV
Submissions can be made either via link or as an attachment.
Session Regions Preferences: The job market sessions will also be organized by region based on their preferences for the timing of their presentations and the market of potential employers:
- North America
- Europe

Please indicate your session preference in your submission. Presentations will be in English.
Submission Deadline: All submissions must be received by November 14th, 2025. Notification of decision will be sent on November 20th, 2025.
