Activities of the EEC

The continuity of the Congress project is ensured by online activities distributed in time – from talks and exclusive interviews, through webinars and debates, to opinion research and reports.

Brilliant interviewees, pundits, politicians as well as presidents and owners of companies will be invited to participate in our video talks. A cycle of conversations covering a wide array of economic subjects in a socio-political context.
Opinion-forming articles covering many topics and reports on key subjects discussed in EEC debates, demonstrating causes and effects of phenomena manifesting themselves in the rapidly changing situation.
A conference held in Warsaw – a prologue to the European Economic Congress; a debate on the main trends that will later become the subject of our discussion in Katowice.

Role-models, visionaries, personalities, eminent pundits. Economists, politicians, scientists, academics and journalists. Each year the panel of the European Economic Congress consists of hundreds of members from Poland and abroad.
