Professor Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday. Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00–2:00 pm and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On November 6, Prof. Dr. Eugénia da Conceição-Heldt (Chair of European and Global Governance) will talk about “Legacies and Innovations in Global Economic Governance: 75th Anniversary of Bretton Woods”. At a conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944 during the Second World War, 44 countries drew up rules for the global economy. These two institutions, established at the same time, have developed into influential global policy actors: the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Their current influence at the international level could not have been foreseen when they were founded. Prof. da Conceição-Heldt and her co-authors studied how the World Bank and IMF have changed and how they are shaping new institutions.
