Next annual conference of the Estonian Economic Association to be held in Hestia Hotel Laulasmaa SPA on January 23-24, 2020
About Us
The theme of the upcoming conference is
“Sustainable Estonia”
Globally, the goals of sustainable development as society-centred “wicked problems” are more and more often discussed. Estonia’s new vision documents (e.g. Estonia 2035) are making sustainable development one of Estonia’s major challenges, but also a potential development driver. However, moving towards sustainable development models is a complicated social process, to which education and economists have to contribute more by supporting thereby moving towards a circular economy, sustainable resource use, etc. with their research papers and analyses.
