The ESC, in collaboration with the Department of Economics organizes cross-programme activities with specially invited guests. The activities consist of short lectures and can, for example, highlight current topics from an economics perspective, career stories or what it is like to work as an economist.

The ESC now has an official website

2025-01-06:
The ESC now has an official website, making it one of the first councils at SU to have one. Previously, students and external parties faced challenges in finding information about the ESC—what it is and what it does—without access to the council's internal website on Athena. To address this issue, the council initially launched a new LinkedIn page as a temporary platform while the official website was under development. The council is now happy to announce that the development is complete.
