Encourage Exchange · Enrich Economics Convened Across Borders, In Person and Online

A Forum for Young Economists

Where global economics meets the next generation.

This forum was founded by students who wanted more than to listen, in a world changing faster than most can keep up with. Here, curiosity is what gets you a seat, nothing else. Each exchange pairs young thinkers with economists and executives, then asks participants to take the question further themselves, through their own research, their own writing, their own conclusions.

What We Do

Curiosity is the only credential we ask for.

I.
Through the people who live it

Every exchange is built around someone who has made real decisions in economics, finance, or industry, people meant to be questioned, pressed, and learned from directly.

II.
Through our own work

A conversation is only the beginning. Participants take the question further themselves, into case studies, research, and writing that stands on its own.

III.
Through exchange across borders

A question raised in one country rarely belongs to it alone. We bring in people and perspectives from wherever the question leads, and the Forum grows more international with every one of them.

Why a Forum

You don't need to be an expert to feel something true.

The pianist Krystian Zimerman once said the magic of classical music is that you don't need to be an expert in it. You only need to hear it and let it reach you. We think economics works the same way. The world is changing faster than most institutions know how to teach, and what matters most is not who already has the credentials, but who has the curiosity to keep up with it, question it, and eventually help shape it. That is who this Forum is for.
