Our Mission
Our Vision
Global Economic Forum (GEF) is a student-led organization in the Economics Department of UW-Madison that aims to bring together students from different backgrounds who are intellectually curious, and want to learn more about economics than what is taught in the classroom.
GEF provides its members with a platform to develop their research and presentation skills through training, research projects, and forum discussions on topics within the field of economics.
GEF aims to enable its student members to:
​
-
Become comfortable with the tools, methods and concepts economic professionals employ in the undertaking and presentation of their research
​
-
Become accustomed to thinking about and approaching current events from an economist’s perspective
