The IATRC Program Committee is soliciting topic ideas to present at the December 2026 Annual Meeting for discussion by the membership.

  • Given the current trade and trade policy environment, what kind of questions should be on the research agenda of IATRC members?
  • What are the challenges faced by researchers tackling those questions?
  • What can we learn from researchers and other professionals outside of economic research on agricultural trade that could inform our approach?

Please submit your ideas through this form or by emailing the members of the program committee before Monday, December 1, 2025.

Program Committee Members:

Please include the title of your topic and a one to two paragraph description of the issue and its importance.  You are encouraged to include key references and potential speakers or organizers.

Program committee members will facilitate the development of final proposals, which will be presented to the membership for consideration at this year’s business meeting during the conference.

Thank you for helping to develop interesting and timely IATRC programs.

Sincerely, IATRC Program Committee Members
