This event aims to present the first issue of the Bocconi Economics Journal (BEJ), to be published in the first half of November 2025. It will provide a platform for the authors to share their research findings, engage with faculty and peers, and foster academic discussion within the Bocconi community. Each presentation will last 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for questions.

The event’s goal is not only to highlight the work of the contributors but also to strengthen the visibility of BEJ within the university and promote a culture of student-led research and collaboration. It will also serve as an occasion to launch the call for submissions for the second issue and to renew interest in the initiative following the successful Inaugural Event held on November 6th, 2024.
