International Conference "Growth in Transition" in Vienna
Dear colleague,
as participant of the Regional Policy Conference in Warsaw, from Nov 30 to Dec 1 2009 I cordially invite you to join us on 28 and 29 January 2010 for the
International Conference "Growth in Transition" in Vienna
where regional aspects will also play an important role.
We raise the question: Does economic growth solve our problems (such as unemployment, increasing poverty or environmental pollution and consumption), or does economic growth cause these problems?
We kindly ask you to spread the information about this exciting conference and the Scientific Workshop that will take place on the day before the conference (27 Jan) on your website and in newsletters and to forward it to potentially interested people in your periphery. Prosperity and quality of life call for economic strategies that are soundly financed, equitably allocated, that deal responsibly with the world's resources, while taking into account the material and immaterial needs of mankind.
We can achieve this goal by taking specific measures to alter the incentive systems and regulations of our national economies. While this is the responsibility of governments, the design of those measures must be the result of a wide public debate. The international conference in Vienna will confront views promoting further economic growth as a precondition for further development with those more skeptical about both the possibility and benefits of substantial growth rates to be sustained over the coming decades. It aims to start such a wide debate on "Growth in Transition" with various stakeholders and to contemplate first approaches, thereby taking a close look at themes such as:
- Money and the Financial System,
- Growth and Resource Use,
- Social Justice and Poverty,
- Sustainable Production and Consumption,
- Regional Aspects,
- Macroeconomics for Sustainability,
- Quality of Life/Measurement of Prosperity,
- Work,
- Governance, and
- Sustainable Management
Scientific Workshop
A Scientific Workshop will be held to discuss the scientific underpinnings of both optimistic and more pessimistic views about the compatibility of economic growth and sustainable development (e.g. substantial reductions in resource use).
We kindly invite you to present your poster in our Poster session and to participate in the web-discussion in the run-up of the Workshop. For more information please visit scientific workshop website.
A detailed conference programme and the registration form is available on the conference website.
The key themes mentioned above are also discussed on the internet.
I hope and look forward to meeting you in Vienna.
Kind regards,
Fritz Hinterberger
