2025 edition

The Paris School of Economics will host the third PSE-CEPR Policy Forum from June 18 to 20, 2025, following the success of the 2023 and 2024 editions.

Jointly organized with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the forum aims to discuss critical emerging issues among leading researchers and policymakers, reaching a large audience that includes government officials and legislators, the media, and academia. The 2025 forum’s overarching theme will be: The Future of Work.

It will explore issues related to the reallocation of jobs and the reorganization of work in a world led by demographic changes, technological mutations and the environmental transition. It will also analyze the recent evolutions in social preferences and attitudes towards work, as well as the dynamics of compensations and their distribution across skills, gender, and race. Finally, it will delineate the innovative policies and strategies needed to meet those challenges.
