Reinventing Economics: How to make it more useful?
60
The economic growth model that developed after the 1990s has been distorted by shocks such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising climate change, and the war in Ukraine. Economics as a discipline may need to look for a renewal. Inspired by the International Monetary Fund’s “Finance & Development March 2024’” issue, this session will explore how to make economics more useful for tackling the big issues of our time. //INFO: This session will be translated by Wordly. If you would like to listen to the translation, please bring headphones suitable for your device.

European Defence: Investing More, Better and European
English 60
In the ongoing war of attrition, Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s attacks depends on Western military assistance. However, US support is stalling and could be further reduced after the elections. This gap has to be filled by European countries which also have to replenish their own arsenals. How can Europe make better use of the potential of its defence industry and deliver what is needed?

War-Born Resilience for European Businesses and Critical Infrastructures
60
While the Russian Federation focuses its economy on weaponization, Europe, after 30 years of peaceful prosperity, finds itself unready for defence. Meanwhile, businesses in Ukraine as well as all the economy had to adapt to the new reality of constant threats, blackouts, cyber-attacks and lack of resources. What can EU member states and companies learn from Ukraine to enhance their resilience?
