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.
