Southwest Workshops in Economics Education, Teaching and Scholarship (SWEETS)

SWEETS supports, trains and provides networking opportunities to academic economists who teach in the Southwest of England. It aims to provide spaces for academics within the region to collaborate on economics education projects and incubate new ideas in economics scholarship.

Annual SWEETS Workshop

The annual SWEETS workshop is a 1-day workshop held at a Southwest institution, beginning with the founding departments at the University of Southampton (2024) and the University of Bristol (2025). It draws together senior experts on an Economics Education theme and provides opportunities for academics to share new projects for feedback and development.

Forthcoming Events

The next SWEETS event will take place in Spring 2025 (date TBC) at the University of Bristol.
