Talent Economics Conference
Rome, October 21-23, 2026
Venue: EIEF
EIEF and the Global Talent Fund are organizing the Talent Economics Conference that will be held in Rome on October 21-23, 2026. The conference aims to bring together leading researchers to discuss frontier research on the economics of talent. We are particularly interested in three questions. First, how does exceptional STEM talent develop, and what role do cognitive ability, effort, environment, and noise in measurement play in producing the right tail of the distribution? Second, how can high-potential young people be identified earlier and more reliably, particularly outside the rich-country institutions that currently capture them? Third, how do exceptional individuals shape scientific discovery, productivity, and growth: through their own output, through spillovers to peers, and through the networks they help form?. The conference will feature keynote lectures by Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury (LSE) and John Van Reenen (LSE). The members of the scienfific committee are: Ruchir Agarwal (Harvard University and Global Talent Fund), Gaia Dossi (EIEF), Patrick Gaule (University of Bristol and Global Talent Fund). Program.
A half-day workshop on Talent Economics will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 21 October. The workshop will offer PhD students and postdocs an introduction to the field’s central questions, data sources, and empirical approaches.
