Future Economy Forum on June 19 in Hamburg

The reform movement in economics is facing structural challenges:

At the same time, there are important successes and innovations that are still insufficiently visible and interconnected. Meanwhile, the growing urgency of macroeconomic transformation poses fundamental questions for "plural economics": Does it need to reinvent itself in the face of urgent social transformation tasks in order to become more relevant and capable of intervention? Can neighboring disciplines, in particular the transformation sciences, become part of a broader reform project? reform project? How can we safeguard the successes we have achieved and at the same time accelerate change?

Our strategy conference is intended to provide a protected space to develop joint approaches to solutions and establish permanent working structures along specific fields of action - from textbook development to science policy and strategic communication. Our aim is not only to stabilize the "Curriculum Change" project, but also to enable it to become a coherent community capable of taking action to help shape economic science and education in the long term.

education in a sustainable way. In doing so, we deliberately focus on university economics in Germany, but embed it in international developments and specifically incorporate impulses from school education. There is also space for participants to present their own initiatives and ideas in an open space.

Our "Future Forum for Economics" is explicitly aimed at the strategic reorientation of university teaching: we want to bring together the relevant players in a permanent format in order to systematically plan curriculum change, institutionalize working structures and make targeted use of levers for change.
