RES Conference Overview
The Annual Conference is our flagship event and brings together hundreds of academic and professional economists to present the latest developments in economics and showcase their real-world application.
Our Annual Conference usually consists of four keynote lectures, special sessions and a plenary session. During Conference, the Society holds both its Annual General Meeting and RES Presents, a series of economics events for the general public.
The Annual Conference is followed by the RES Symposium of Junior Researchers, an event for and run by PhD students. To support postgraduate students wishing to attend we also offer a PhD financial assistance fund.
