COVID-19 in CEE – GLOBSEC 2020 Bratislava Forum New Concept & Dates
Every week, since the global pandemic hit the world, GLOBSEC experts have been covering the CEE region's response to the virus and its impact on business, economics, finance, tech, and policymaking.
In a number of webinars under the label #GLOBSECgoesDIGITAL, current stories of gloom and doom have been juxtaposed with more optimistic prospects of how to rebuild our world from the ashes once this pandemic is over. We have heard a host of sound ideas and valuable debates, including stakeholders from different sectors who have voiced their opinions on important subjects that will matter in our lives going forward.
This week we're again going to treat you to a number of webinars tackling various topics amid COVID-19, including New priorities for European policy, how we can deliver a green boost to our economy, how to fight hoaxes, false stories, and whether flexible Europe could work, during which we'll present the GLOBSEC DIFF GOV Report ‘Making Flexible Europe Work: European Governance and the Potential of Differentiated Cooperation’
The last few weeks have thought us that there may be a silver lining in all the commotion. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this year our flagship event, GLOBSEC 2020 Bratislava Forum, will be more dynamic and flexible than ever in engaging the international community is debating the most pressing issues in the light of COVID-19.
