Generative AI in Economics Education CoP

This Community of Practice is led by Petar Stankov (Royal Holloway). The primary mechanism for meeting is through regular online seminars and Petar is always open to offers to present ideas (at early stage of development or late stage). All seminars run on MS Teams and start at 2PM London time. Joining links for sessions are shared with those on the Mailing List. Contact Petar Stankov to be on the mailing list.
