World Trade Forum at EUI
This year's EUI/WTI/CEPR World Trade Forum is 23 - 24 September in Florence, focusing on behind-the-border policies and global trade:
This year’s World Trade Forum – an annual event that is organised by the World Trade Institute (Bern), the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (European University Institute, Florence) and the CEPR Trade Policy Research Network – will focus on the measurement and impacts of nontariff measures and domestic regulation on international trade and investment and how such ‘behind-the-border’ policies are being/can be addressed in preferential trade agreements and the WTO. The World Trade Forum brings together leading academic scholars from around the world, trade policy practitioners and senior officials from governments and international organisations, as well as representatives of the business community and civil society, to discuss international trade and investment policy developments, medium-term trends, and recent and ongoing policy research project activities and results. It offers a unique platform for deliberation between trade practitioners and analysts.
