Research seminars

Each research group organizes and run a seminar series in its own research field. More information on the field seminars can be found on the each research group pages:

In addition to the field seminars, there are two seminar series, colloquium and lunch seminar, that covers all the economics fields and are not organized by the research groups. Helsinki GSE also lists VATT seminars on its website due to the close cooperation between the organizations. All the seminars are listed on the Events page.
