Invitation: Concluding LACalytics Conference
IFAIR e.V. cordially invites you to attend the concluding panel debate of its LACalytics Programme on “EU-LAC Cooperation in the 21st Century: Combining Efforts in a Globalised World”.
LACalytics runs under the patronage of Dieter Lamlé, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the German Federal Foreign Office, and in cooperation with the EU-LAC Foundation. The project aims at fostering the understanding and cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Since February 2016, 46 young researchers and professionals form the EU and LAC have worked together in bi-regional teams to examine mutual interests and problems in the fields of politics, environment, economy and civil society and to formulate policy recommendations.
The best twelve analyses are published in a printed publication by IFAIR, and their authors are invited to attend the LACalytics Conference and its concluding event. The event takes place on Tuesday, the 25th of October 2016, and is kindly hosted by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in the Hamburg Town Hall. The subsequent reception will provide room for more informal discussions.
