CEPR Women in Economics Initiative
CEPR has formalised its efforts to improve representation of women in the economic profession with the creation of the CEPR Women in Economics Initiative. Led by CEPR’s Vice-President, Hélène Rey, this initiative aims to redress gender imbalances in the economic profession, partnering with CEPR member organisations to promote women within the field.
This page collates the various projects CEPR is involved with, or external initiatives that have been endorsed by CEPR, and provides a single platform through which the myriad of high quality output and initiatives can be accessed. If you are interested in partnering with CEPR on a related project, or for any further information on CEPR Women in Economics, please get in touch with Petra Buresova, Development Officer at CEPR [email protected].

CEPR - UBS Women in Economics
Between 2019 - 2022, CEPR worked in partnership with UBS to celebrate contributions of women in economics, with a series of portraits and video interviews. This programme shone a light on quality research and policymaking from female leaders in their field. Women in Economics featured videos of prominent researchers discussing their work and insights. The content was designed to appeal to non-expert audiences, as well as those with a deeper understanding of economics.
