Economists Reception (Empfang der Volkswirte)

Are you interested in Economics (VWL), but you are not quite sure what to do with it later? Then you are in the right place!

In the Economist Reception (former) students of the Economics Program (VWL) of the University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) are invited once every semester. These guests will present what occupations they work in today and how they got there.

In addition, the Professors and the Chair Staff are willing to answer your questions about the economics degree (VWL) at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in a relaxed atmosphere.

Save the date!

All students are welcome to attend the economists‘ reception on Wednesday, June 5 (6:30 – 8:00 pm) in Lange Gasse, 0.222/3. Our guests will be Michaela Haderer (Reserve Bank of Australia) and Julia Holleitner (Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung – IAB).
