The Economics & Business sector is facing new challenges in the areas of sustainability, increasing inequality, social transitions, disruptive technology and well-being. The belief that economists and business scientists play a determining role in the development of solutions to those challenges, was the reason for the Council of Deans Economics and Business to form their joint Impact Agenda .
Academic professionals in Economics and Business recognize the intention of the Impact Agenda, and are now looking for their role in it at educational level.
During the national Wednesday of Economics Education Week, teachers, program coordinators and deans of programs in the economics field gathered at the Free University in Amsterdam to discuss the future of academic economics education and their role in it. View here the review of this wo-day.
