We recommend: OSUS (Online Spatial & Urban Seminar)

A Zoom-based Economics Workshop

Founded in 2020 with the aim of bringing economists from various disciplines together to explore urban issues, OSUS is run by junior faculty and post-doctoral students on a revolving basis, with the aim of involving early-career academics in the broader urban economics community. The seminar is supported by the Urban Economics Association. You can contact the seminar organisers at: osus@urbaneconomics.org.
