Each year IAFFE holds an annual conference and a pre-conference training workshop that provide researchers, policy-makers, and community activists from throughout the world with a forum to share their work and experiences and to exchange ideas on gender issues. The IAFFE annual conference represents an important opportunity for participants to present current research, plan future research, and interact with other economists and advocates with similar interests.

IAFFE is committed to providing support for scholars to attend the annual conference and pre-conference workshop. This year, through the generosity of the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and other grants, we are able to provide support to a limited number of scholars and graduate students who would otherwise be unable to attend the annual conference. We are especially interested in funding scholars from Africa and other regions of the Global South as well as a limited number of scholars and graduate students from OECD countries.
