• Event description

Are you interested in exploring the diverse career opportunities in economics? Join us for an enriching event featuring experienced economists from various sectors who will share their insights and career journeys, highlighting the extensive paths available in public, private, and academic fields.
This event aims to inspire and motivate all students, especially those underrepresented in the discipline, to consider the wide-ranging professional and academic opportunities within economics. Attendees will hear from accomplished speakers who will provide unique perspectives on the challenges and rewards of their careers. Their experiences will offer practical advice that you can apply to your own aspirations. We will specifically address gender-related challenges and opportunities, focusing on the experiences of women in the field.

The event is open to all students. This event is sponsored by the Women in Finance and Economics Society at Queen Mary University of London, and organised in collaboration with the Royal Economic Society UK Women in Economics Network (UK WEN).
