SUMMARY:How can we end the doom and gloom?
DESCRIPTION:Britain has faced a barrage of bad economic news—from shocks to policy mistakes—over the past 20 years. Today\, confidence in the economy and in economists is waning. What can be done to make the UK more resilient? Do we need a new economic model? Or new ways for economists to influence policy\, or both?

SUMMARY:Aid or Defence: Has Something Got to Give?
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore the competing priorities of national defence and international aid in today’s geopolitical landscape. As nations grapple with security challenges and humanitarian crises\, our panel of experts will discuss the impacts of cutting aid versus defence budgets. Our expert panel will debate whether it is feasible to maintain international aid while ensuring national security\, and what potential compromises may be necessary.
