Conference in english
Global macroeconomic imbalances were a major cause of the current crisis, and attempts to deal with them are certain to create powerful national and international tensions. What are those tensions likely to be, and what do they tell us about prospects for the future? Rebalancing of growth, then, raises again the problem of winners and losers. The structure of interests in the major societies will change as their economic orientation changes. How can governments facilitate positive changes and strengthen an international environment in which cooperation among the major powers takes place?

Brussels, Germany, France and Italy Facing the Energy and Industrial Crises: Coordinated or Diverging Trajectories?
Amidst soaring defense spending, higher borrowing costs, erosion of energy intensive industries, renewed energy price hikes and possibly physical shortages, the European Union and its Member States are again struggling to stabilize the European economies. Governments are tempted by uncoordinated, short-term moves while in Brussels, there is a struggle between the “more of the same” and the “scrap it largely” approaches to the transition.
Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
