Our Seminar series at the Economics and Business Unit aims to present research in progress in economic and business-related areas and further contributions from the business sector for academic purposes -primarily research but also teaching, eventually. The seminars are open to both internal members within our Department -or the UPM academics in general- and external contributors.
The seminar series runs during the academic year. It was created in 2019, initially aiming for two seminars per year, and currently, since 2023, it has been aiming for three seminars per academic year. Detailed information of seminars can be found below:
