As well as being welcome to all our public events the IEA puts on special events for students and teachers, normally in Westminster. Also, bursaries for students and teachers are available to allow them to attend our annual State of the Economy Conference free of charge. We also often have bursaries available for postgraduate university students and higher education lecturers for our industry conferences.

Students and teachers can receive all IEA publications by subscribing at the discounted rate of £30. Please contact Adam Myers for further details. Schools and teachers can subscribe to the IEA journal, Economic Affairs, for only £25. Subscribers receive four hard copy issues a year and also have free electronic access to the whole back archive. If a school subscribes, electronic access can be arranged for all students and teachers within the school via the school intranet.

The monthly minutes of the IEA Shadow Monetary Policy Committee may also be of interest to economics’ students and teachers.

If you would like to be included on the mailing list for future events or for our annual essay competition, please email Christine Blundell, Director of Student and Teacher Outreach Programmes.
