Welcome to the ICES Economics Workshops!
We are pleased to welcome you to become a part of our economics workshops, where students gather together to study and advance their knowledge in economics, entrepreneurship, and political economy. Through exciting classroom activities, interactive experimental games, stimulating lectures from world-renowned economists, and challenging discussions, our students learn how markets work and enhance their understanding of economic policies.
Our mission is to provide a reliable comprehensive educational program to help students, young professionals, and other intellectuals from various fields discover how essential economics are in understanding the social, economic, and political events and strengthen their ability and desire for in-depth economics research and continuous learning.
We seek to bring together the leadership of the most determined and the brightest students and strive to provide a stimulating learning environment, where ideas are produced and shared.
We look forward to welcoming you to our workshops!
Here's what our students are saying...
- "I would highly recommend this workshop to other students. Not only does the workshop teach you a substantial amount about economics, but also it does so in a fun and creative way. The professors are absolutely eye opening and made me think about things much differently. I didn't just learn about interesting topics such as market structures, marginal utilities/returns, trade, and so forth, but I also learned about business and entrepreneurial principles, which will stick with me for life. I can now say that I view the world differently than I did prior to this workshop."

- "ICES workshop in economics was an excellent class, interesting lectures and very informative exercises. Definitely worth the long metro ride from my house."

- "The ICES Workshop is really incredible in that it probably covers a semester's worth of economics in a week, without all the homework and stress. It's a great foundation for anyone who's considering studying economics in the future, and is still lots of fun for those who aren't."
