UEC’s Second Case Competition of the 2025–2026 academic year challenges students to apply economic theory and real world data tools to modern financial problems. As traditional financial institutions face declining engagement from younger generations, teams will develop data driven strategies to help firms and policymakers such as the Bank of Canada adapt to changing transaction and payment behaviors.

The competition features two divisions, Beginner and Advanced, to accommodate varying experience levels, with all teams receiving access to training sessions and resources. The case includes a dataset which advanced teams are required to use and beginner teams are encouraged to explore, alongside an optional R training session designed to build practical analytical skills. Teams will prepare and present solutions to panels of judges, incorporate feedback, and refine their final presentations.

Women in Economics is an annual panel and networking event hosted by the Undergraduate Economics Council (UEC) in celebration of Women’s Day. The event brings together accomplished women from academia and industry to share their experiences, career paths, and insights into the field of economics. Through meaningful discussion and networking, the event aims to inspire students, promote gender equity, and encourage greater female participation in economics. Hosted in collaboration with WomEconomics, the event is open to all undergraduate students.

UEC’s Study Session is a relaxed, low-stakes event designed to help students prepare for their Economics-related final exams. Students can ask Teaching Assistants and upper-year facilitators questions about course content and practice problems in a supportive group setting.

​

The session will include study groups for first-year and second-year Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometrics, with additional groups offered based on student demand. Open to all economics students, the event encourages advance registration to help with planning. Light food and beverages will be provided.
