The RCEA Colloquium 2022

The European Union between crises to be faced and institutions to be reformed


Wednesday, 26 October 2022 


The dramatic situation caused by Russia's war in Ukraine, which came after two years of pandemic emergency, has confronted the European Union with an unexpected event once again in a very short period, full of unpredictable developments and uncertain consequences from many points of view. This crisis involves multiple aspects corresponding to the competence of legal, political, and economic disciplines.


The workshop aims to reflect on how the European Union is reacting to this crisis and how the crisis itself could be an opportunity to transform its institutions and the political guidelines of the Member States. The workshop foresees two sessions. The morning session reflects on political and legal issues related to needed EU constitutional reforms. The afternoon session reflects on the current energy and inflation crises and its implication for economic policy management. 

 

The morning session will be held in-person and online (ZOOM) from the University of Milano-Bicocca, while the afternoon session will be online (ZOOM) from the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies – Harvard University


This event is jointly organized by the Center for European Studies (CefES), the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, and the Rimini Centre for Economic Analysis (RCEA-Europe).

RCEA Conference on Recent Developments in Economics, Econometrics and Finance

The Rimini Centre for Economic Analysis (RCEA), with the support of the Department of Economics of the University of Cyprus, the Tax Administration Research Centre (TARC) and the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research - IOBE will be hosting a three-day online conference on 4-6 March. Presentations will take place (approximately) 8am-8pm GMT. Papers from all areas of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Finance, Econometrics and related fields, with a theory, empirical or policy focus are welcome. Non-presenting participants may register for access to all sessions of the conference.


The revenue of the conference will be directed to finance part of the medical treatment for our friend Miltiadis (Miltos) Makris, a Professor of Economics at the University of Essex, UK. 


Miltos is specializing in microeconomic theory and public economics. His numerous contributions include publications in the Journal of Political Economy, the International Economic Review, the Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of International Economics, AEJ: Macroeconomics, Games and Economic Behavior, and the Journal of Public Economics. 


Last July, Miltos found that he has a malignant and very aggressive brain tumor. He went through two surgeries and now needs a procedure commonly referred to as “Optune” which, unfortunately, is not covered by regular insurance and NHS in the UK.  Optune is an innovative, FDA-approved, treatment for glioblastoma (GBM) that works by creating Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields), which are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division (see https://www.optune.com for details about the US version of the info site).

 

A separate fundraiser has been organized by Alessandro Pavan, one of our plenary speakers, for the same cause: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-miltos-makris
