We are now preparing a number of activities for 2026, which will be announced in time. One will be GLO Bonn 2026.

Please save the dates for GLO Bonn 2026:
2–4 December 2026, once again in hybrid form, both in Bonn and globally. The event will take place at the dawn of two major milestones, the 40th volume of JOPE and the 10th anniversary of GLO, both to be celebrated in 2027.

The program will feature Invited and Contributed Paper Sessions, GLO Job Market Sessions, the GLO VirtYS Session, Special JOPE Paper Sessions, and several Keynote Speeches.

Submission Requirements: Proposals must include:

• A paper or extended abstract of one’s Job Market Paper

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:

Please indicate your session preference in your submission. Presentations will be in English.

Submission Deadline: All submissions must be received by November 14^th, 2025. Notification of decision will be sent on November 20^th, 2025.
