Founded in 1998, the University of Edinburgh Economics Society is a student-run society within the University of Edinburgh notable for being one of the University's largest student organisations. For the current academic year (2012-2013), the organisation touts over 1,600 members.

Publications
The society is well-known for its dry but waggish sense of humour, namely its jeu de mots incite podcast and biannual insight magazine. Both publications are rigorously academic, covering topics of current interest with economics or broader financial sector relevance.

Learning Initiatives
With the exception of revision weeks and school holidays, the society holds weekly meetings during teaching terms. Additionally held are monthly Economics Forums featuring high-profile guest speakers, the annual Adam Smith Series conference (co-hosted by the organisation), and the Economics Innovative Learning Week (co-hosted together with the University's Economics department).

Social Events
Society members can be found weekly at "coffee mornings" in the Edinburgh University Library, or getting sloshed after evening meetings in Innis & Gunn on Potterrow. The organisation also co-sponsors the annual Edinburgh Charity Gala event.
