The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the European Central Bank (ECB) organised their 2025 conference WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance. The aim of the conference is to bring together women in economics to present and discuss new research on macroeconomics and finance which is of particular interest to central banks.
WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It complements the WE_ARE initiative, a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior economists.
The conference took place on 20 and 21 October 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.
