Professional Development Sessions
The RES’s Professional Development Sessions aim to help economists and others (junior or senior) build their knowledge in particular topical areas.
The sessions are held by leading academics who have extensive experience in the session topics. Sessions will focus on content to help improve teaching or research and are designed to deliver practical take-aways.
These sessions will, for 2021, be decoupled from the annual conference and will take place online later this year, more information will be sent to members once available.
