On October 19-22, 2016, at the Central European University in Budapest, the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) will hold its first plenary, under the title “Piecing Together a Paradigm”.
The event will bring together 15 diverse YSI working groups — each searching for frameworks to guide their research — to place their work in a bigger picture, asking how the specific questions of each group fit together.
We envision the plenary as an opportunity for our working groups to encounter and inspire each other enriched by the mentorship of more than 40 pre-eminent thinkers, including:
The plenary will also help to set the research agenda for YSI’s coming year and will include:
- Comprehensive parallel working group meeting schedule for 15 working groups
- High profile open sessions hosted by the working groups
- Keynote addresses and big picture panels with leading economic thinkers
- Community plenaries to set our overall agenda for the coming year
