Nobel Laureates in Economics at the I.S.E.O. Summer School - "The World Economy's Shifting Winds"

DESCRIPTION
The I.S.E.O Summer School is an international summer course focused on the most topical economic discussion. The 20th edition is entitled “The World Economy's Shifting Winds. New Challenges, Threats and Opportunities” and will investigate some of the main challenges that global economy is facing in such a shifting landscape. The global economic order is undergoing a fundamental transformation, and the distinguished speakers of the I.S.E.O. Summer School will try to analyze the principle factors of this transformation: the impact of Ai on the future of work, the green transition, emerging inequalities (also) in the labour market, new geopolitical risks and their consequences on international trade, global inflation, growing nationalism are just some of the topics which will be covered during the intensive one week course.
Conducted entirely in English, lectures at the I.S.E.O. Summer School are all made of a first part of straight talk by the speaker, followed by a second part of Q&A with the participants.
As from the very first edition in 2004, the course will gather a large group (between 60 and 70) of graduate and post graduate students in Economics coming from the all over the world.

LOCATION
The 20th edition of the course takes place fully in presence.
Participants are invited to come to Iseo, a picturesque village facing the homonymous lake (Iseo lake) in Northern Italy, not too far from Milan. Both classes and accommodation are going to be hosted at the Iseolago hotel, a charming four star hotel by the lake. Attendees will have the chance to spend some quality time with international participants and speakers – all of them lecturing onsite – as well as to enjoy the place, the food and all the interesting free time activities (kayaking, trips, wine tasting) organized during the week, in an informal, multicultural and stimulating atmosphere which is peculiar to the I.S.E.O. Summer School.

For the first time ever, the I.S.E.O. Summer School program will include a poster session. The I.S.E.O.
