"Nordic and Baltic Economies: Problems and Prospects" Seminar

On behalf of Mary Hilson apologies for any cross-posting.

 

The UCL Nordic/Baltic Research Group is pleased to announce a forthcoming seminar on "Nordic and Baltic Economies: Problems and Prospects", to take place at UCL on 29th April 2010.  The seminar is the second in the ESRC-funded series "The Nordic and Baltic States in the European Political Imagination".

 

In the current global economic turmoil, some of the Nordic and Baltic economies – such as Latvia and Iceland – have suffered badly while others – Norway, in particular – have survived the downturn relatively well. Over the last few years, the economic performance of Europe’s regions has grown in importance to practitioners and academics alike. The speakers at the seminar will be discussing issues related to economic development and future growth potential in the region ranging from financial recovery and tax reforms to labour market policies and innovation.

 

For further information including the full programme please follow this

All welcome!

 

Mary Hilson (on behalf of the Nordic/Baltic Research Group)
