Green transition and digital economy will revolutionize manufacturing, services, finance and, ultimately, our daily life. After the Covid-19 pandemic, this trend is due to accelerate, thanks to the implementation of the Next Generation EU and China's XIV Five year plan. Will Bruxelles and Beijing's policies lead us towards a better, more equal planet? Which technologies will be improving our way of working and living? Will new energy sources and hi-tech giants contribute to a new global order? Join our intensive online summer school and debate with our outstanding scholars and experts.
The transition from fossil fuels to non-polluting ones is a historical turn which is urgently needed. Such a process
cannot be hindered by new rivalries among great powers. However, factors such as the rise of China, the technological revolution, and the post-pandemic restructuring of global supply chains are escalating the race for new resources
to power our factories, cars, electronic devices. This will be a difficult but fascinating journey. Join our exploration
by debating with scholars and experts who contribute to global debate in our intensive online summer school.
