This year, we brought you for the very first time a fully digital Ideas Lab experience! For this 8th edition, “Seeking ImmUnity: Europe in a post-Covid World”, our team of researchers and leading experts covered five themes over five days from the European Green Deal to Europe’s industrial future and the economic recovery.
The +100 speakers included Nobel Laureates of Economics Joseph Stiglitz and Michael Spence, Vice-President for Interinstitutional Relations and Foresight Maroš Šefčovič, Commissioners Elisa Ferreira and Nicolas Schmidt, ECDC Director Andrea Ammon, Indian economist Jayati Ghosh, Distinguished Fellow Kishore Mahbubani, and many more.
And for the first time at Ideas Lab, 30 Young Thinkers representing 25 different nationalities from 5 continents took part in a joint foresight exercise all week-long, where they presented scenarios on the future of Europe and discussed citizens engagement.
