The purpose of this event is to introduce Rethinking Economics (RE) Finland and what it aims to achieve in the near future. We will also introduce the wider audience to the international organization. The group currently consists of a variety of graduate students, professionals and doctoral researchers, and new members are very welcome.

For those who are not familiar with the organisation, Rethinking Economics started about a decade ago, in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, a crisis that showcased the centrality of economics to our societies while also exposing the *many failures of conventional economic thinking*. Our international network campaigns for better explanations in economics. *Our vision is of a discipline that is pluralist, applied, critical and diverse*. Rethinking Economics connects and discusses with people globally, participates in curriculum reforms, inspires debates on what economics is today and on how to bring about the change needed for the economics of tomorrow.

Schedule of the event:

· *Introduction*: what is RE; and our objectives and activities in Finland.

· *Short lecture*: ice-breaker interactive quiz; a brief overview of what is the meaning of pluralism in economics.

· *Open debate*: Q&A about RE, followed by a guided discussion on transforming economics.

· *Wrap-up*: upcoming events and how to participate in RE-Finland.

The event will be hosted in English, with Finnish speakers present.
