At the end of November, the founder of the NES and an outstanding economist Gur Ofer passed away. We decided to dedicate a series of NES30 Lectures to his memory. From the 12th to the 17th of December there were public talks about economics, finance, education and career. Among the speakers were leading scientists - NES professors and alumni, and representatives of other universities, as well as representatives of the banking sector, large companies and startups. We offered you an unusual format: it was a LIVE version of our podcast "Economics Out Loud" (one of the most popular economics podcasts in Russia).
