Visiting scholars

Each year, the Department of Economics welcomes academic visitors from around the world to Monash Business School as part of the Visiting Scholars Program.

During their visit, these scholars share their knowledge with our staff and students through meetings, seminars, and informal discussions. Most of our visitors present during the weekly Economics Seminar Series.

Through the Visiting Scholars Program, our staff and students engage and collaborate with leading researchers from around the world.
