In mid-March, FEPS and the Karl Renner Institute will host a gathering of young academics who responded to a call for articles in September 2009 which sought fresh approaches to addressing the problems Europe will face in the next 10 years. From this the best submissions were selected and the authors will have been invited to attend this brainstorming seminar on “Future Modelling”. It is hoped that this initiative will bring new insights and refreshed dialogue to political and economic discourse in Europe.
