The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), Bank of Spain, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the European Central Bank (ECB) organise the next WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance Conference.

The aim of the conference is to bring together female economists who will present and discuss new research on macroeconomics and finance which is of particular interest to central banks.

The conference will foster interaction between junior and senior female economists across academia and policy institutions.

Policy panel 
A policy panel on "Artificial intelligence for policy making" will take place on the first day of the conference.

WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It brings together two initiatives WE_ARE and WiM, which are based in Europe and the United States.

WE_ARE is a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior women. 

WiM is an annual conference organised, with the support of the Becker Friedman Institute, by Marina Azzimonti (Stony Brook University and CEPR), Alessandra Fogli (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and CEPR), and Veronica Guerrieri (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and CEPR) that features the work of Women in Macro and creates opportunities to strengthen their research and expand their networks.

Venue
The conference is scheduled to take place in person in  the Bank of Spain in Madrid, Spain, provided there are no travel restrictions in place, and it is safe to travel.
