RIEF Network Conference
The Department will be hosting the Research in International Economics and Finance (RIEF) Network's 21st Annual Doctoral Meetings.
The RIEF Network was created in 2004 in order to strengthen scientific cooperation and contacts between European research centres working on international economics. Every year it organises a doctoral meeting which gives selected PhD candidates or young doctors (on the job market) the opportunity to have their papers discussed by senior researchers in the field.
A prize of 500 euros is awarded to the best paper presented.
