Following on from the success of the inaugural series, the Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch) will run the Emerging Economist Program for a second year. By bringing together emerging economists from business, academia and the public service, the Emerging Economist Seminar Series provides a unique opportunity for networking and discussion amongst economists who will be facing key economic challenges in the coming years.
The Emerging Economist Program is a series of six bi-monthly luncheon seminars with some of Australia’s leading economists and contributors to economic debate. The 2008/09 series will be opened
by Professor Bob Gregory and followed by other esteemed presenters including Professor Alan Fels, Heather Ridout, Professor Joshua Gans, The Hon. Bob Hawke and Tim Harcourt. Each speaker will draw on their experiences in public policy, government and business, and provide insights into the emerging issues that economists are likely to face in the future.
As well as sharing the experience of those who have made major contributions to the Australian economy, participants will have the opportunity to meet fellow economists from other public sector agencies, business and academia, and share ideas about the future challenges facing the profession. The Emerging Economist Program is targeted to early career economists that demonstrate leadership skills in the profession. The individuals that nominate will participate in all six seminars in the series.
The Emerging Economist Seminar Series will provide the basis for furthering economic debate in New South Wales and Australia.
