The Economics & Investments Society has a series called ‘in conversation with’ where a committee member hosts a fireside-like chat with industry experts. 

The aims of this discussion with Billy Kelleher MEP follow the parliamentary activities of Mr. Kelleher, notably the European Parliament's delegation for EU-US relations and his work in ECON and FISC. Questions will be asked on these topics followed by questions on the ‘Europeanisation’ of Ireland, reflecting on 51 years of membership and the importance of being an informed European citizen with the upcoming European elections.

Come along and join us in The Scholars Club for our Pub Quiz, on Monday the 13th of March at 7:15pm. There will be groups of 4 and €20 per table / €5 per person. 

The Economics and Investments Society are delighted to partner with ULCES as well as Enactus UL to deliver a thought-provoking and engaged discussion on the future of self-promotion. The night will include an overview of how to reach 500+ high-quality connections on LinkedIn, pitching yourself as a brand in an interview & CV format, as well as having an open discussion as to the future of work and what skills we need to develop to meet the workplace goals of the future. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
