On October 4, 2019, the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics held the annual "Trobada" for Affiliated Professors, post-docs, and PhD students in the Barcelona GSE research community. The Trobada is an opportunity for researchers from all four of the Barcelona GSE academic units to welcome new colleagues and catch up with returning colleagues at the beginning of the academic year. Barcelona GSE Director Teresa Garcia-Milà and Barcelona GSE Chair Paula Beato presided over this year's Trobada.

Ursula Mello (IAE-CSIC and Barcelona GSE)
“Does Affirmative Action in Higher Education Impact High School Students?”
Katerina Petrova (UPF and Barcelona GSE)
“A Generalised Lp-Norm Filter for Time-Varying Parameter Models”

There are now 158 Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors from 31 countries

Affiliated Professors are tenured or tenure-track faculty members from the Barcelona GSE academic units. They form the core of all Barcelona GSE educational and research activities. They direct and teach in the Barcelona GSE Master's programs; design and teach in Barcelona GSE summer schools and professional courses; organize research events such as the Barcelona GSE Summer Forum workshops; and serve in leadership roles that shape the evolution of the Barcelona GSE at an institutional level.

Affiliation with the Barcelona GSE gives researchers access to initiatives such as the Barcelona GSE Seed Grants, Research Recognition Program, and Barcelona GSE Working Papers Series, and links them with a community of more than 150 Affiliated Professors working on topics across the spectrum of Economic science.
