Squaring the circle?—Postgrowth policy workshop

Berlin, 11 Oct 2022

The ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies and the German Environment Agency (UBA), in collaboration with Angelika Zahrnt (Friends of the Earth/IÖW), Irmi Seidl (Swiss Research Institute WSL), Christine Corlet Walker (CUSP) and Mike Asquith (European Environment Agency) are hosting a full-day co-creative workshop in October, to discuss postgrowth policy.

Goals of the workshop

• Ideas and insights on complex issues thrive best in teams. This is why the creation of an expert network on growth independence will stand at the core of this workshop.
• The workshop will bring together leading experts from academia and policy to open up and discuss research questions of selected aspects on social welfare systems and fiscal policy with a view to liberate the stability of the systems from the need of continuous economic growth.
• In doing so, this event is intended to support an emerging network to accelerate, mainstream and scale up the research on these topics.

Registration

Registrations are open until 26 August 2022. Financial support may be available. All details via the ZOE website: https://zoe-institut.de/en/event/squaring-the-circle.
