Two days Hoover Alumni conference in economic and social ethics

February 10-11 - Louvain-la-Neuve - Hybrid mode

On the occasion of the Hoover Chair in economic and social ethics’ 30^th birthday, we decided to launch a new initiative aimed at bringing together the community of former visitors and fellows of the Chair. This will be an occasion for them to present and discuss their work in progress in the typically informal atmosphere of the Hoover Chair, trying to mix a spirit of kindness, sharpness, constructiveness… with a touch of humour.
