Welcome to our inaugural Waterloo Economics PhD Conference!
The first Waterloo Economics PhD Conference ran very smoothly and was a great event. To see some photos of the event, click here. Stay tuned for the next PhD conference, which will be happening in Spring 2018.
The purpose of the conference is to encourage networking among our current and future UW alumni students and to provide them with an opportunity to present their research and share advice and information on navigating a PhD in Economics. This is also an opportunity for our faculty to catch up with their former students on their PhD life after taking UW Economics courses.
For any questions, please contact Prof Stéphanie Lluis at slluis@uwaterloo.ca or any members of the alumni relations committee organizing the event.
