"Coffee Break" is an online discussion group for PhD researchers, the aim is to provide a platform where you can speak freely about your research amongst a group of friends.
The seminar series is a joint collaboration with Paris Dauphine University thanks to the efforts of Arthur Juet who visited the Department of Economics at Royal Holloway in 2019/20.
