Economic Futures
Economic Futures, a project funded by the Scottish Funding Council, aims to engage with undergraduate economics students, graduates and early career academics across Scotland to provide an eco-system for applied economic analysis.
The project offers a series of programmes including work placement opportunities in academia, public policy, charities and the private sector and events to showcase opportunities and learning in applied economics.
Economic Futures is hosted by the Fraser of Allander Institute and supports activities across all HE institutions in Scotland which have economics teaching provision.
