About the event
The event will include a series of activities led by speakers from a range of backgrounds, including current economics students. It is designed to give young people a better understanding of economics through presenting illustrative applications of economics in a range of contexts and introducing the careers of professional economists. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about how to enter the Royal Economic Society, Young Economist of the Year competition, sponsored by KPMG. The competition aims to encourage students to produce their own ideas in analysing contemporary economic problems facing the UK and the world. We’d like to invite years 11,12, and 13 to join us on campus on the 24th of October for this unique event. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Each school may bring a maximum of 10 students.
