More than 235 speakers from around the world, interesting and diverse topics, 50 hours of interesting debates, skirmishes and lectures, and a wide selection of side events. The 6th edition of the International Congress on the Economy of Value - Open Eyes Economy Summit - will begin next week, with intergenerational relations - GeneRations- coming to the fore this year.
One of the videos in the series: GeneRations: they have their reasons; how do different #GeneRations see the future? Do the young see it differently from the older generation? In what ways? What is the reason for this? Do we approach technological development in the same way?

There will also be topics on foreign policy, the crisis of democratic states and the new US administration.

I am glad that the group of Congress participants is so diverse. After all, we are standing on the brink of a climate catastrophe, and we are also getting increasingly strong signals that the continuation of an economic model based on maintaining growth at all costs is greatly accelerating our flight into the abyss. This is something that needs to be discussed as widely as possible -- says Professor Jerzy Hausner, Chairman of the OEES Program Council.
