SUMMARY:Where Red and Blue Meet
DESCRIPTION:The Anglia Ruskin University is hosting the event “Where red and blue meet; the role of intermediate institutions between the family and the state in British society?” on Tuesday 12th March\, with ResPublica Director Phillip Blond and Lord Glasman. \nLord Glasman and Phillip Blond have both challenged their own political parties and\, through them\, the country to look beyond the traditional left-right split over economic issues. They have encouraged us to look at the social structures to which people belong and in which they are formed and develop virtue. They have challenged the notion that – there is no such thing as society – lying between the family and the state. On this evening they will each present their ideas\, including identifying what they have in common and the distinctive contribution each of them makes. There will then be time for audience interaction\, not merely questions and answers.

SUMMARY:Europe of Tomorrow: The new way of thinking
DESCRIPTION:Held on the 22nd January 2013\, the 10th Vienna Congress com.sult will bring together prominent figures to discuss future-relevant topics\, and form a highly attractive network of executives and decision-makers. The Congress will discuss the issue of how to create a new way of thinking with the objective to overcome impediments to reforms and taking right decisions while competing for the brightest minds and tomorrow’s products. The multifaceted agenda including panel discussions and workshops with experts offers a wealth of topics and is the ideal meeting place for managers\, consultants and the media. \nResPublica Director Phillip Blond will be giving a keynote speech at 11am. \nPhillip Blond stated:\nWe have to restructure Europe in a way that will allow us to deal with the region’s divergent economic development and competitiveness. Centralised reforms will compound rather than address the problem because they will further penalise those countries at the periphery of Europe’s economy and make it even more impossible to tackle the capital and trade imbalances that lie behind the current crisis. A one-size-fits- all approach to the euro crisis will only lead to anti-European populism and a political revolt against the centre. Instead\, we need to give countries the ability to be responsible for themselves again. \nOther speakers include H.S.H. Prince Hans- Adam II of Liechtenstein\, President Václav Klaus\, Jerzy Buzek\, Nabeel Shaath\, Jan Zielonka and many more.
