The RES Diversity & Inclusion Network
The RES Diversity & Inclusion Network aims to connect individuals and groups working to make Economics more diverse and create a better community. We welcome economists from academia, public and private sectors working on increasing diversity, and creating more inclusive environments for under-represented groups in economics to join us (also join our mailing list to keep up to date with our news and events).
If you cannot attend but believe someone else from your institution may be interested, please encourage them to register.
