Events
JFI hosts weekly sessions on our staff and fellows’ research, as well as lectures and seminars from outside speakers on all of our topics of interest.
In July 2020, we launched a Social Wealth Seminar series, a diverse, interdisciplinary space to foster collaboration at the point where public finance meets more just social policy. More information here.
If you are interested in attending or hosting a seminar, please send us an email at jfi@jainfamilyinstitute.org. And subscribe to our newsletter for information about all our upcoming seminars and events.
