Professor Fred Gruen was Head of the Economics Program, Research School of
Social Sciences, the Australian National University from 1972-1986, and
inaugural Director of the Centre for Economic Policy Research over 1980-1986.
Fred made a significant contribution to Australian economic and public policy
debate. His endowment to the ANU has led to the establishment of the FH Gruen

welfare policy.
The FH Gruen lectures are being organised in conjunction with the Graduate
