Conferences and seminars
Each year, the IIES invites prominent researchers from all over the world, to hold seminars in our Seminar Series.
IIES Seminars usually take place on Tuesdays at 13.00 and/or Thursdays at 10.00 in room A822 (the IIES Seminar Room), unless otherwise stated. The seminars are in person with an option to join via Zoom and run for 75 minutes including questions.

IIES/SNS International Policy Talks is a collaboration with the Centre for Business and Policy Studies (SNS) where the mission is to bring insights from leading international economists to the Swedish policy debate. These talks are hosted by the SNS and require prior registration via their website.
