*Growth in Transition - International Conference*
The conference will be held from 28 to 29 January 2010 in Vienna,
Austria. Three Austrian Ministers and high profile speakers from all
over the world have confirmed their participation.
Prosperity and quality of life call for economic strategies that are
soundly financed, equitably allocated, that deal responsibly with the
world's resources, while taking into account the material and immaterial
needs of mankind.
We can achieve this goal by taking specific measures to alter the
incentive systems and regulations of our national economies. While this
is the responsibility of governments, the design of those measures must
be the result of a wide public debate. The international conference in
Vienna will confront views promoting further economic growth as a
precondition for further development with those more skeptical about
both the possibility and benefits of substantial growth rates to be
sustained over the coming decades. It aims to start such a wide debate
on "Growth in Transition" with various stakeholders and to contemplate
first approaches, thereby taking a close look at themes such as
* Money and the Financial System,
* Growth and Resource Use,
* Social Justice and Poverty,
* Sustainable Production and Consumption,
* Regional Aspects,
* Macroeconomics for Sustainability,
* Quality of Life/Measurement of Prosperity,
* Work,
* Governance, and
* Sustainable Management
*Scientific Workshop*
A Scientific Workshop will be held to discuss the scientific
underpinnings of both optimistic and more pessimistic views about the
compatibility of economic growth and sustainable development (e.g.
substantial reductions in resource use).
We kindly invite you to present your poster in our Poster session and to
participate in the web-discussion in the run-up of the Workshop. For
