Socio-Economic Transformation

Together with its partners, FES engages with policy communities through its Economy of Tomorrow programme. These communities mainly consist of participants from academia and think tanks, in the field of economics but also political science, as well as non-governmental organizations, labour organizations, and the media. They aim to develop new ideas, concepts and policies for a more socially just, economically resilient and green dynamic development model.

After concluding the discussion on taxation, the current focus lies on digital transformation. The discussion encompasses its economic aspects such as new forms of employment, skills training, education and innovation, as well as the social aspects of the internet, such as security, privacy and freedom of information and expression.
