INSIGHTS Summit – Communicating Economics 

To mark the conclusion of the INSIGHTS project for science transfer, we invite you to the INSIGHTS Summit on June 18, 2025 at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. Look forward to panels on topics such as gender, macroeconomics, and climate policy. Afterwards, in a slam, we will award the best INSIGHTS Piece from the past four years. In these presentations, researchers communicate study results in an accessible way and link them to current policy issues and societal challenges. In the evening, there will be a live podcast on the topic of AI and science communication. The summit brings together science, politics, and communication under one roof and is organized in collaboration with WZB, DIW, and the Berlin School of Economics.

Please register here. Information about our speakers can be found in the program flyer.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring day of dialogue, ideas, and exchange!

• Panel I: Gender and Macroeconomics - Fighting Gender Inequality in Polarized Times. With Prof. Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln (WZB Berlin) and Christian Berg (AllBright Foundation)
• Panel II: Climate Politics - Can Germany’s Climate Ambitions Survive Global Instability? With Julia Verlinden (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) and Prof. Karsten Neuhoff (TU Berlin / DIW Berlin)

Following the panels, selected INSIGHTS authors from the past four years will deliver concise speeches in the INSIGHTS Out Slam, competing for the highest policy relevance.

The evening will conclude with the recorded podcast (in German) featuring philosopher Christian Uhle and Dr. Anne-Sophie Behm-Bahtat (Wissenschaft im Dialog).
