Academics from the University of Bath will give their insights into the economic and business impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the next in its popular Minerva Lecture series.
The free online public talks kicked off in April and have brought together experts from across the university every two weeks to examine different aspects of the crisis and its global effect. 
Entitled ‘Making Sense of the Coronavirus Crisis’, the next lecture, which takes place on Friday June 26 between 2pm and 3pm, will explore its economic and business impacts and how it will effect everything from exchange rates and global financial markets to the world of work.
The panel will include Andy Crane, professor in the School of Management, Eleonora Fichera, reader in the Department of Economics and Bruce Morley, lecturer in the Department of Economics.
Anyone registering to attend will also be able to put questions to the panel.
University of Bath head of public engagement Helen Featherstone said: “Our Minerva Lectures are one of our most popular public engagement events and we are delighted that we have been able to continue the series online during this very strange time.
“The global coronavirus pandemic is affecting everything we do: our jobs, our physical and mental health, the economy, our politics and the climate. So we wanted to offer people a perspective that brings all of these aspects together.
“We’re very much looking forward to seeing what insights our panellists will offer, and hope that those joining at the lecture will enjoy our exploration of the world around us at this challenging time in our history.”
