Annual Conference of Estonian Economic Association (EMS) 2023

You are invited to participate in the 18th annual conference of the Estonian Economic Association to be held in Estonia, AQVA Hotel & Spa (Rakvere) on 26.-27.01.2023.

The broader topic of the conference is Energy and Economy. The law of conservation of energy also applies in the economy, including organizations - energy is neither created nor lost, it can only change from one form to another. Where does energy come from and where does it disappear in the economy? How to ensure that people - both managers and employees - do not run out of energy? How to ensure that the energy does not flow out of the universities? The EMS conference is a good opportunity to take some time off and create new energy together.

The academic focus of the conference is on energy security, sustainability and climate change. The keynote of the conference will be delivered by Annela Anger-Kraavi, Senior Research Associate and a lead of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), Cambridge University. Dr Annela Anger-Kraavi is an active researcher in the area of climate change economics. She is also a Director of Studies in Economics at Downing College, Cambridge.

In the panel session, Estonian politicians and practitioners in the field of energy will discuss the topics of energy production, energy security and climate change.
