Are you passionate about economics and eager to explore the diverse career opportunities available in the field?  Join us at our upcoming event, where professional economists from various sectors will share their insights and experiences, highlighting the vast array of career paths in the public sector, private sector, and academia.

The primary objective of this event is to encourage female economics students to explore diverse career paths and opportunities in academia, public, and private sectors within the field of economics, inspiring and empowering them to pursue both professional and academic careers in economics. Attendees will benefit from dynamic talks led by distinguished speakers from diverse backgrounds. These inspirational talks will provide invaluable insights into the unique opportunities and challenges within each sector, offering practical advice based on their own professional journeys. A key focus of the event will be the gender aspect, addressing the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women in the field of economics.

The event is open to all students (irrespective of their gender) of the University of Southampton.

This event is sponsored by the Athena Swan Committee of the School of Economic, Social and Political Science (ESPS) of the University of Southampton and organised in collaboration with the Royal Economic Society UK Women in Economics Network.
