This year’s symposium brought together nine distinguished academics, who presented their latest research in economics and finance. The event fostered a vibrant and open environment for sharing ideas, deepening intellectual dialogue, and strengthening cross-institutional partnerships.
The symposium officially began with a welcome reception on the afternoon of 15 July, setting the tone for a productive and collegial few days. Over two days of workshops (16–17 July), participants engaged in in-depth presentations and discussions covering a wide range of topics in economics and finance. The programme also included a workshop dinner on the evening of 16 July, providing further opportunity for informal networking and collaboration.
The event concluded on 18 July with a series of team-building social activities, reinforcing the spirit of partnership and shared purpose among attendees.
