Online applications will be open between February 26 and March 31, 2024. The list of selected applicants will be notified by e-mail and published on the ELADES website on April 5. Priority will be given to students who are pursuing or have recently pursued graduate studies, especially in the disciplines of economics, social sciences and humanities.
The program is structured in six modules: introduction to development; sustainable development; political development; economic development; social development; and development ethics. Classes will be held Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and students may spend the rest of the day at the Hernán Santa Cruz Library to work on their research.
Tuition and course fees are free of charge. Classes, mostly in Spanish, are taught by ECLAC staff researchers and prestigious professors from various universities in Latin America, the Caribbean and the world.
ELADES-ECLAC annually convenes young researchers, graduates and/or postgraduates interested in studying the Latin American development process. More than 600 students from 35 countries and different universities around the world have attended the Program (formerly Summer School) since its inception in 2000.
