Seminars of the Section Economics
The seminar series is organized by the Section Economics of Wageningen University (consisting of the groups Agricultural Economics and Rural Policy, Development Economics, Urban Economics, Environmental Economics and Natural Resources, and Rural and Environmental History).
The seminar is aiming to foster the exchange on recent topics in the field of economics. We consider contributions from all fields of economic research and invite speakers from Wageningen, the Netherlands and abroad.
Usually the seminar is organized as a weekly lunch-seminar taking place on campus. However, given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the seminar will take place online via Microsoft Teams every Tuesday between 13:00-14:00 unless indicated otherwise. Exact days will be displayed here. All staff and students are welcome!
If you want to present your work, or you want to suggest potential speakers please contact Daniel Gallardo Albarrán (daniel.gallardoalbarran@wur.nl).
