Okanagan Edge Staff - Feb 26, 2021 - Biz Releases

UBCO next week will be bringing in experts from around the world—virtually, of course—to reimagine economic futures.

The university is hosting the webinar in conjunction with Orkestra Basque Institute of Competitiveness on Thursday, March 4, at 8:30 a.m.

Speakers include Westbank First Nation Council member Jordan Coble, Mari Jose Aranguren, who is the general director at Orkestra Basque Institute of Competitiveness and economics professor at Deusto University in Spain, and Micaela Camacho, who is director of the Competitiveness Institute at Universidad Católica del Uruguay.

“As we tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time—from the climate change crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying health and economic insecurities to issues of equity, diversity and inclusion across many forums—we also have a unique opportunity to join together with partners from around the world and deepen our understanding and exploration of these challenges and their global impact,” UBC Okanagan provost and academic vice-president Ananya Mukherjee Reed said in a press release.

“We are honoured to join together with this group of inspiring voices to learn with and from one another as we explore opportunities for our future economic pathways.”

The webinar is free, but registration is required.
