[JVI-LOGO NO CLAIM RGB] Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2022 JVI Annual Lecture on Central and Eastern Europe after 30 years. Success and Challenges Ahead Speaker: Mr. Marek Belka Member of the European Parliament, Professor of Economics (College of Europe Natolin / LSE Institute of Global Affairs) Friday, June 17, 2022, 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The JVI was created 30 years ago to assist former centrally planned economies with their transition to market-based systems. What trajectories have these economies followed, and how do they compare 30 years later? What went right with the transition, and what did not? What mattered, and what did not? And at present, what are the main challenges facing Central and Eastern Europe? The Lecture will address all these broad questions and provide the unique perspective of Professor Marek Belka, a statesman, top economic policymaker, and a keen observer of trends faced by the region in the past 30 years. The event will take place at the Joint Vienna Institute, room 700 A-B-C, 7th floor, Mariahilfer Straße 97, 1060 Vienna. We hope that you will be able to join us. Please note that we ask for advanced registration by emailing to events@jvi.org<mailto:events@jvi.org> by June 8.
