JOINING US


Become a Member of the Scottish Economic Society


Economics plays a crucial role in addressing the significant issues of our time, from tackling climate change and food security to improving health inequalities and understanding the impacts of artificial intelligence, education, and crime. Economists are essential in developing solutions to these complex, real-world problems, grounded in sound theoretical principles and empirical evidence from academic research.

The Scottish Economic Society (SES) has been supporting economists in their quest to address the world's most pressing challenges for decades. We believe that robust economic understanding and policy can create fairer, stronger, and healthier communities, improving the living conditions of all members of society.
