News archive - [Event Announcement] Towards an open and competitive economy: Examining the roots of innovation
The conference (taking place on April 5 in Budapest, Hungary) will showcase how research provides integrated  socio-economic and policy support in the fields of macroeconomic  policies, the structural reform agenda and the employment, education and  skills agenda.
The event will further focus on the trade-offs and frictions between  competing objectives, such as the short- versus long-term, while taking  into account future constraints and opportunities, such as the impact of  economic activities on the environment, the shifting composition and  age distribution of Europe's population, and the challenges and  opportunities of globalisation.  
Among the topics covered will be: the dynamics of industrial structures  and the growth of innovative firms; aspects of the digital economy;  innovation, competitiveness and flexicurity indicators for European  Union policies.
