Crisis Preparedness for Europe: Financial and Payments Systems Facing New Risks
(panel organised by the ESM)
EEA Education Committee Workshop: Economics Teaching in World of AI - Embrace or Avoid?
In this interactive workshop we will discuss how economists are currently responding to GenAI in their teaching and assessments across European universities and consider when it is appropriate to embrace the technology and when there is a need to redesign how we teach and assess to manage impacts for academic integrity. The discussion will be facilitated by three Committee members who will provide brief insights on their experiences responding to GenAI and share the results of a survey on how those attending Congress are responding. The attendees will be encouraged to engage in small group discussion activities, focused on how to identify an appropriate balance between embedding GenAI in economics teaching and attempting to avoid it. Learnings from the workshop will be shared through a blog post after the Congress.
Surveying the Culture: Women's Representation and Workplace Climate in Economics
Chair:Panelists:
Laura Hospido (Banco de España), Johanna Rickne (Swedish Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University), and Emmanuelle Taugourdeau (CREST, CNRS, IPParis)
We warmly invite you to join the Women in Economics (WinE) session, featuring three speakers presenting findings from recent professional climate surveys conducted across Europe. The session will examine the current state of inclusiveness, mentoring, harassment, and workplace culture in the economics profession, with particular attention to gender disparities. By quantifying the magnitude of these issues and identifying where they are most acute, the discussion will highlight the progress that has been made and the challenges that remain.
