4th Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics

The Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics is now in its 4th year and has become a premier event on the topic (review the 2024, 2023 and 2022 programs). Once again our goal is to bring together the world's leading academics working on Geoeconomics to present and discuss their latest research. Conference highlights will include academic keynotes, policy panels, the Kiel Institute’s 2025 Bernhard Harms Prize and the Excellence Awards in Global Economic Affairs.

The event is further supported by the CEPR RPN on Geoeconomics, the CEPR RPN on International Lending and Sovereign Debt, the ReCIPE initiative, and the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University.
