We are delighted to announce that this years European PPE Network Conference is coming to Bayreuth!

How should we think about, plan for, and govern the future? This year's conference will focus on both conceptual and practical challenges of governing across time: how institutions balance short- and long-term goals, how individuals and collectives imagine or discount the future, and how ethical, political and economic reasoning can guide sustainable decision-making in a rapidly changing world.
