Panel VII of Helsinki Geoeconomics Week 2024 turns the spotlight on academia, addressing the urgent need to integrate geoeconomics into university and executive education curricula. “Geoeconomics in the Ivory Tower” challenges the traditional boundaries of higher education, urging a paradigm shift to include comprehensive geoeconomic education at all levels. Join us in a forward-thinking dialogue about the transformations required in academic curriculums to prepare future leaders for the complex interplay of global economics and politics. Explore what universities are currently planning, what needs to be done, and how educators can effectively embed geoeconomics into their teaching. This panel is a call to action for academic institutions to evolve and embrace the critical relevance of geoeconomics in today’s interconnected world.
