Economics Research Seminars are temporarily suspended due to Covid-19. We hope to resume soon.
The School of Economics hosts research seminars each week, during the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms, organised by Dr Anthony Savagar and Dr Anirban Mitra.
Seminar speakers are usually visiting academics from universities and institutions in the UK and abroad. Last academic year we had 48 visiting speakers, including a number from overseas institutions.
In addition, the School and its research centres host a number of internal and external research events through the year.
