Events

Throughout the academic year, we host various special events, ranging from economic debates and collaborations with other societies and external institutions to our signature Economics Symposium and Policy Competition.

Our annual themed Economics Conference involves a series of panels and standalone speeches by esteemed economists, policy professionals, and government officials on a particular pertinent socioeconomic issue. In 2021, 900+ people in total attended it and 15 speakers from some of the most prominent institutions in the UK and the US participated in it.

Our Economic Policy Competition invites students to discuss, research, and propose solutions to important policy issues within economics. Last year, 40 undergraduate teams from across the world, including the UK, China, Russia, and India, competed to design cost-effective policies to mitigate the economic and public health aftermath of a future pandemic in a country of their choice and present their findings in a 1000-word document.
