RETHINKING ECONOMICS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Economics is not a static field of study, and the rapid changes of the modern world are inevitably seeping into the academic discipline. As factors like technological change and behavioral sciences reshape the economy and how we think about it, future economists must be prepared to understand today’s increasingly complex economy and anticipate its evolution.

Join us in our upcoming event, where experts in the field will discuss how modern economics is redefining diverse industries, sectors, and businesses.

This event will mark the launch of IE University's new Bachelor in Economics, which aims to equip students with the skills necessary to drive economic and business performance in the new world of work.

This event is open to anyone interested. However, all participants must register in advance, as space is limited. We look forward to seeing you there!
