Public Lecture

The Annual Public Lecture

This initiative by the RES aims to bring the best communicators in the economics profession into contact with a wide public and to show the importance of top-quality economic research. Aimed principally at sixth form students of Economics but of interest to all, the Annual Public Lectures have become an established part of the senior school calendar as well as the general public. You can watch or download most of the lectures from the links below.

Advance diary notice: the 2013 Annual Public Lecture will take place on 26 November in Sheffield and 28 November at the Royal Institution in London and the speaker will be Tim Harford, author and 'undercover economist' for the FT. Tickets will be available from this website in September and will be limited to 30 per school.
