The series of events continues on 5 November 2019 at 7.00 pm with a lecture entitled ‘Economic growth – still a meaningful macroeconomic objective’.
What does economic growth actually mean? It is often discussed in the news. But what exactly does it mean? Is this system of measurement adequate as it stands, or should we rethink it? Why does the economy need to grow at all? And are we perhaps managing the economy at the expense of our young people? The speakers will explore these and many other questions and open them up for discussion.
The event will take place at the Kleve campus of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Marie-Curie-Straße 1, Lecture Theatre Centre, ground floor, Room 01 EG 010 (Audimax).
The lecture forms part of the Studium Generale programme and has been designed to make academic research accessible through lectures written in plain language. The lecture programme is aimed at the general public, students, school pupils and anyone in the region with an interest in science, as well as professors and staff at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, with a focus on general, universal education. The lecture series also provides a platform for lively exchange and discussion on current issues.
Attendance at the Studium Generale lectures at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is free of charge and no prior registration is required. Further information on the Studium Generale is available online at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/studium-generale.
