Are you passionate about gender equality, economic justice, and inclusive policymaking? The International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) is now accepting applications for the 2026 IAFFE Feminist Economics School, taking place from July 6–8, 2026, at Universidad Icesi in Cali, Colombia.

It is an excellent opportunity to deepen your academic knowledge, strengthen your advocacy work, and connect with leading feminist economists from around the world.
