Monthly live talks from professionals
Every month, someone working in the fields Economics students usually target – investment banking, consulting, quant, accounting and more – gives a live talk to all Econora students, ending with a Q&A session for students to ask them questions. Recordings of these will also be available on the student portal, in case a student cannot make it to the live session.
