The World Trade Organization (WTO) launched the 2013 WTO Essay Award for Young Economists. Young economists are invited to submit their papers by 1 June 2013.
The Award aims to promote high-quality research on trade policy and international trade co-operation among young economists and to reinforce the relationship between the WTO and the academic community.

The award ceremony will take place in September 2013 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The winning author(s) will receive funding to attend the meeting.
