THEME: Economics Encounters: Economics Applications in Daily Life

Spending time in teaching and researching economics, one discerns patterns familiar and unfamiliar across board. We always tend to observe interesting things that evoke a mystery, a curiosity in us. Yet, as we observe or experience the patterns while we go about our lives consciously or subconsciously, there might be an economics underplay beneath it. It would be obviously interesting to think how many actually seek plausible explanations for the mysteries, paradoxes, puzzles, teasers among others in theories and principles of economics. Exploring into the same might make teaching and learning economics more fun. Thus, enticing to call these instances economics encounters.

Researching economic encounters is exciting and illuminating. Hence, this is an endeavour to bring together the explanations on these seductive economics encounters onto a stage. The platform must provide a grip for a fun based approach, something alluring to the laymen, the non-specialists. At the end of the day, the audience must take the learnings onto their dinner table diffusing the beauty of economics. To a layman, a non-specialist, economics often presents a picture of terror, a phobia. In contrast, economics is not arcane, but orbits around plenty of common sense. Therefore, if conventional myths about economics have to be dispelled, a message needs to be delivered on how studying and researching economics is not just common sense but entertaining too. Therefore, Indus Business Academy (IBA) deems it to be a privilege to host Ecofluence-the research festival, for economics buffs, an event with a difference.

It's not only about presenting the plausible economics explanation of an action or a reaction but in a manner that is easily understood by the laymen. Therefore, as you seek to present think how best you can demystify your presentations to an audience that might not understand economics jargons!
