Bruxelles

ULB, Solbosch campus, SBS-EM, building R42, Room R42.4.110

Most economists working abroad come back home for Christmas. So, why not bring them together for a conference? This simple observation led to the creation of the Christmas Meeting of Belgian Economists.

It originally started at IRES (UCLouvain) in 2011 and rapidly 3 other universities joined the adventure. Nowadays, they organize the Christmas Meeting in turns.

This year the Christmas meeting will take place at ULB.
