In March 2016 the University of Sussex Department of Economics and the Sussex European Institute is holding a series of open seminars on 'Brexit', the proposed departure of Britain from the European Union.
Now that you have the vote, how will you use it? These seminars will discuss three different aspects of Brexit (an abbreviation of 'British exit'). Each is presented by noted experts in the field and is open to all Sussex students and staff, as well as those outside the University.
Building up an expert picture of the issues, these seminars will help you decide how to vote or just how to separate fact from fiction in what will be the most important, noisy and passionate debate in recent British history.
The seminars
All seminars start at 6pm in the Jubilee lecture theatre. All are welcome. Each will be recorded and made available here.
