Economics Workshops

The School of Economics has a series of slightly less formal workshops which we affectionately call 'Brainbags'. These are led by Adelaide faculty and postgraduate students. In addition, the brainbag series includes visitors that we can’t fit into the usual seminar program. Everyone is more than welcome to attend. Those who are interested in giving a brainbag or who want more information can contact the coordinator, Dr Eran Binenbaum.

TIME: 12 noon
DAY: Most teaching period Mondays, see dates below.
VENUE: Economics Boardroom, Level 3, Nexus 10, 10 Pulteney Street
