First-Hand Information on Economic Policy

Pressing economic policy issues and recent developments are the focus of this ZEW event series, featuring speakers from politics, business, and economic research. In their lectures, the speakers outline their approaches to tackle these challenges and provide policy recommendations, before discussing ideas with the audience. These one-hour events are followed by a reception, which allows the audience to exchange ideas and network in an informal setting.

Participation is free of charge and by invitation.
