8. Tinbergen Institute has still more to offer...!

TI has its own offices, seminar rooms and a dedicated support staff in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Students have their own computer facilities and office space. The small-scale locations and the informal atmosphere at TI facilitate easy interaction between students, lecturers, research fellows and visitors. The MPhil students often collaborate on various assignments and become a closely-knit group. Worthy of special mention here are the annual Tinbergen Institute Lectures (in 2006 by Robert Gibbons, MIT; in 2007 by George Loewenstein, Carnegie Mellon University; in 2008 by Pierre-André Chiappori, Columbia University) and in 2009 by Susan Athey, Harvard University) and the various invited guest lecturers (Geert Ridder, University of Southern California, and Bruno Biais, Université Toulouse, among others).
And, last but not least, a word for both Amsterdam and Rotterdam which have a lively social and cultural environment— there are numerous theatres, cafés, museums, parks, canals, etc.— and their environs offer more bucolic distractions, such as beaches, sand dunes, waterways and wide-open spaces. Although these features are not an official part of the program, many find them a welcome addition to the Institute’s challenging program!
