The sessions are particularly aimed at students studying economics, but other related disciplines (e.g. maths, psychology) are also welcome. Two workshops will be organized on 4th and 5th of July 2017, between 10am to 1pm.   To find out more details about who to contact and how to register, please go to: https://economics.mdx.ac.uk/department/student-area/#6thform
