Women in Economics: 4th edition

Laval University

Friday 11 Apr 2025
From 8:30AM To 3PM

The 4th edition of “Les Femmes en Économie” will be held on April 11 on the Université Laval campus.

This year's guest speaker will be Nicole Fortin, full professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and CIRANO Associate Researcher and Fellow. She will present her study “Gender differences in career progress among PhDs in economics”. 

The event will once again be attended by Julie Gingras, Deputy Minister of Finance of Quebec.

Nicole Fortin's talk will be preceded by a student seminar on gender economics research, to which doctoral students and post-docs are invited. This is a unique opportunity to share research results and benefit from the comments and suggestions of a professor specializing in the field.
