Committee
European integration in the economic, monetary and financial field have had very different consequences on productivity growth across sectors and regions, driving an economic wedge. Technological progress is believed to spur economic dynamism, yet technological progress might accentuate regional disparities.
The College of Europe, and the Universidad Pontificia Comillas organise a workshop to examine these topics in the light of the new policy challenges that reduced growth, shifts in monetary policy, and the geopolitical situation, present to the EU.
The main topics include, but are not limited to:
- European internal and external economic integration.
- The impact of integration processes and technological change on the Single Market.
- European strategic autonomy.
- Emergence of territorial disparities within and across EU Member states and regions.
- Regional policies, structural funds, and public investment in promoting convergence.
- Digitalization, technological change, and productivity growth in the EU.
- Firm dynamics and productivity growth.
This workshop aims to study the dynamics of European integration, regional convergence, the transition, and the policies that guide these processes.
The conference will be organised around the following sessions:
- Academic Keynote (Prof. J. Thisse, UCL)
- Policy Keynote
- Academic sessions
- Policy Panel: Prof. L. Codogno (LSE), M. Landabaso (JRC-European Commission), Prof. Dr. P. Linares (Universidad Pontificia Comillas), Prof. Pelkmans (College of Europe)
