Helsinki Macroeconomics Research Away Day


Helsinki Macroeconomics Research Away Day (HMRAD) is a workshop organized jointly by Research Unit of the Bank of Finland and the Macroeconomics group of Helsinki GSE. The idea is to get together macroeconomics (in a broad sense) researchers in Helsinki outside their office buildings while still avoid traveling.

The next HMRAD will be held on Wednesday June 5, 2024, 9.30 - 16.00 in University of Helsinki Main Building Unioninkatu 34 (by the Senate Square), 3rd floor, room U3039
