Public lectures
The Wealth of Nations at 250 (23 April 2026)
Celebrating the legacy of Adam Smith and the Wealth of Nations, this event examines the relationship between liberal capitalism and Adam Smith’s principles. We explore how these ideas intersect with current economic crises and pressures, including income inequality, political dynamics, global economic shifts, climate change and sustainability challenges. Registrations will be available via what's on event calendar.
RC Mills Memorial Lecture (6 August 2026)
The RC Mills Lecture was established after his death in the late 1950s, and reinstated after our Centenary celebrations in 2020. The RC Mills Lectures have a specific focus on education, including education policy, the regulation and funding of all tiers and the role of education in society. Registrations will be available via what's on event calendar.
Warren Hogan Memorial Lecture (October 2026)
The Warren Hogan Memorial Lecture is devoted to the economic analysis of public policy issues, and commemorates Warren Pat Hogan, Professor of Economics in the University of Sydney, (1968–1998). Registrations will be available via what's on event calendar.
