How is the German economy continuing to develop, and what challenges does this pose for economic and social policy? These are the questions being addressed by the renowned economist Prof. Dr. Achim Truger, a member of the German Federal Government’s Council of Economic Experts, also known as the ‘Five Wise Men’. The expert will speak on this topic on Tuesday, 16 June, at Paderborn University. Anyone interested can attend the lecture at 12 noon in the Auditorium Maximum. The event is organised by Professor Dr Burkhard Hehenkamp and Prof. Dr Daniel Baumgarten from the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics.
Under the title “Current Economic Forecast and Challenges for Economic and Social Policy”, Prof. Truger will provide a well-founded overview of the current economic situation and outline the economic and social policy challenges facing Germany. The event is primarily aimed at students and staff of Paderborn University, though interested guests are also very welcome. There will be an opportunity for discussion afterwards. External guests are requested to complete registration in advance (by Tuesday morning) by emailing: christiane.borghoff@uni-paderborn.de.
