LUMS Organized 1oth Annual South Asian Economics Students Meet

The 10th Annual South Asian Economics Students’ Meet is the largest conference in the region at undergraduate level. The Department of Economics has arranged a mix of Academic events that will challenge the students’ love for Economics and bring it at par with executable policy-making. And when they are tired of Economics, there are carnivals, a little dash of pop-rock, to good food to rejuvenate the students.
