The Workshop in Economic Theory begun in 2013, as the Southampton Winter Workshop in Economic Theory (SWWET), organised annually by the Economics Department of the University of Southampton. Although its core subject is Economic Theory, it has a strong interdisciplinary character, attracting speakers and attendants also from Computer Science, Political Science and Psychology. It has subsequently been co-organised by the Universities of Bristol, Carlos III, City, Essex and Kent. For a list of past workshops and speakers, click here.

In 2020, we started the Virtual Seminars in Economic Theory, which run weekly and provide a platform for scholars to present their unpublished work to a broad academic audience in the UK and abroad. You can view YouTube recordings of past talks here.

In 2023, it became the Workshop in Economic Theory, in memory of Miltos Makris (MSET). Miltos passed away suddenly in 2022. He was a founding member for the workshop and instrumental for its success. Click here for a short bio.
