Wellbeing Seminar Series
Organised by Professors Richard Layard and Paul Dolan, Dr Nick Powdthavee and Dr Jan-Emmanuel De Neve

Seminars are free and open to all - there is no need to register.
The CEP Wellbeing Programme holds regular seminars. The aim is to foster an interdisciplinary debate involving economists, psychologists, other social scientists, epidemiologists and clinical scientists to evaluate the strength of evidence linking wellbeing, biology, and health, the suitability of different research paradigms, and the social and health implications of this work. Each seminar will consist of a research presentation followed by discussion, with refreshments.
Past seminars have been on the relationships between wellbeing, stress, biology and physical health from the epidemiological and clinical perspectives; mental health and wellbeing; work and wellbeing; developments in the measurement of happiness; the causes of happiness; and, wellbeing over the life-course.
All seminars, unless otherwise stated, will be held at CEP, 2nd floor meeting room, 32 Lincoln's Inn Fields, WC2A 3PH. If you are an external visitor to LSE, please bring a copy of your invitation with you.
