Call for papers: Interdisciplinary Workshop “Getting out of the crisis: Time for new initiatives” - Hoofdinhoud
| date | June 4 2012 - June 5 2012 |

Over the last couple of years we have seen how governments and international institutions in Europe and worldwide try to take measures to solve the financial crisis which has invaded real economies and put some countries into real problems for everyday functioning. The focus has been put on banking systems, sovereign debt, and financial markets in general, and then on public expenditure cuts. But we see too often that measures taken, apart from socially unpopular, don’t seem to give the desired results, and sacrifices don’t seem to see an end. So we think it is time to wonder if there are alternative ways of doing things.
This two days' workshop aims to give some answers to the unsettled times we live on: Which is the contribution that each actor (governments, civil society, private companies, official institutions, citizens) and each sector (industries, banks, rating agencies…) can make? Should new policies be implemented at EU level? Is there a real risk for the future of the Euro? Who should play a prominent role in this crisis? Are rating agencies really so important? Are sustainability and corporate responsibility things to be forgotten to focus on the short term?.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for young and experienced researchers to share their work, ideas and findings with colleagues interested on the same fields, in a friendly environment. It will be organised through panels of 3 or 4 papers in parallel sessions, putting together those works dealing with similar issues, policies or sectors. Pre-organized panels (no more than 4 papers) will also be considered.
