How do you enrich economics education? What is your approach? What are challenges and lessons learned? In interactive sessions, presentations and working sessions, experiences are exchanged, new perspectives are explored and unexpected cross-pollinations arise.

The program is currently being developed in collaboration with several universities. Would you like to contribute? E-mail Femmy van den Elsaker!
