Expecting Conversations That Count: Climate, Markets, AI
María José Arteaga Garavito
Bocconi University, Italy
My research lies at the intersection of finance and climate
policy, and climate and sustainability issues stand out in
the Economics Meeting. If we share experiences and common ideas, we can think of finance as a tool rather than
a barrier. I have already met young people from all over
the world, and we have immediately started connecting.
That’s a great opportunity.
Mengyuan Cai
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
I am focussing on AI, a hotly debated topic. Many Laureates are conducting research in this area, but, browsing
through the programme, I also found many interesting
papers published by Young Scientists. Perhaps, in the future, there will be a chance to collaborate with them. I’m
most excited about the Science Walks format because it’s
a rare opportunity to have a less formal conversation with
the Laureates, to hear their insights in a more personal
way – and even the stories behind their research.
Johannes Stangl
Complexity Science Hub Vienna, Austria
I’m really looking forward to the Panel Discussions, as
these form a thread throughout the week, but of course,
the climate change discussion focuses on a topic that is
of great importance to me. I think we should dare to invite the real world into the conversations we’re having
here. These are unprecedented times in many ways, and
we are facing many challenges. This cannot be separated
from economics, because politicians will always turn to
economists first and foremost for advice. We should keep
that in mind when we talk with our Young Scientists and
Laureates.
