#  Behavioral Camp 2020 cancelled 

 



In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we have decided to  
cancel the 2020 RSF Summer Camp in Behavioral Economics. Given what we  
now know, it is unlikely that such a gathering (in June) would be  
consistent with public-health best practices, and even less likely  
that we'll be confident enough this spring to ask participants to plan  
for such an event. The RSF Camp is an event we look forward to and it  
is with great disappointment that we have come to this decision. As  
more clarity about the world situation comes, we will be thinking  
about possibilities of alternative timing and structure, and announce  
on the RSF site and both our home pages any substitute we arrange.  
  
To those who have already applied via Fluxx for camp: We will hold on  
to all applications for now. They will continue to be confidential,  
but please let us know if you object to us doing so, and we will  
remove them. And may we ask each of you to write to your two  
recommenders to tell them of the cancellation, so that they can avoid  
submitting references if they have not yet done so--and to tell them  
that if they have already submitted a letter we will hold on to it  
unless you or they say that it is deleted. Should we decide on an  
alternative program, we will inform all who have applied this time,  
and open applications back up for all.
