4th Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics
The Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics is now in its 4th year and has become a premier event on the topic (review the 2024, 2023 and 2022 programs). Once again our goal is to bring together the world's leading academics working on Geoeconomics to present and discuss their latest research.
This year, for the first time, the conference will take place in Paris, in cooperation with Sciences Po and the German Embassy in Paris.
The event is further supported by the CEPR RPN on Geoeconomics, the CEPR RPN on International Lending and Sovereign Debt, the ReCIPE initiative, and the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University.
