Kevin Featherstone and Vassilis Monastiriotis attend Delphi Economic Forum XI with LSE President and Vice Chancellor Larry Kramer

On 22 April, two European Institute academics attended the Delphi Economic Forum XI in Greece, along with the Hellenic Observatory who served as a content partner for the conference.

The Delphi Economic Forum is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organisation working in close cooperation with civil society, public organisations, businesses and individuals. It engages business, political, academic, and other top experts in an effort to address emerging challenges, influence the national and regional agendas and promote sustainable and socially responsible growth policies for Greece, Europe, the wider Eastern Mediterranean and South East Europe.

Professor Kevin Featherstone, Emeritus Professor, was in conversation with LSE President and Vice Chancellor Professor Larry Kramer discussing "Universities in an Age of Polarisation" on the competing pressures and obligations of universities today.

Moreover, our Professor in Political Economy Vassilis Monastiriotis also joined a timely panel about "The Future of the European Gig Economy" to explore how technology, regulation and shifting labour dynamics are reshaping Europe’s gig economy.
