Whether you are a student or a senior researcher in economics, attending conferences is a vital part of your academic career. As well as being able to present your work as a talk or as a poster, you can attend the presentations of other researchers to learn about the latest news and developments in your field. But more than that, conferences are a chance to discuss your topic with fellow experts and to get to know new people and to expand your network. Plus, conferences can also be good fun and be an excuse to travel to a new place.

You only have so many conferences that you can attend each year though, so it's important that you pick the right conference for you and for your research. In this article, we're going to share a list of 5 of the top economics conferences that are being held in Europe in 2018, so you can find the right conference for you.
