The Annual Research Conference (ARC) is the European Commission’s flagship research forum that brings together leading researchers in economics and policymakers.

The 2024 edition of the Annual Research Conference (ARC) aims to contribute to the understanding of the implications of ongoing trends in 

• global trade, including changes in the organisation of global value chains, and their impact on economic efficiency
• capital allocation and incentives for innovation and investment
• low-carbon technologies
• the costs and benefits of industrial policies aimed at the development of strategic sectors including, among others, defence, energy, healthcare and high-tech, and its implications for the EU single market

The conference aims to facilitate a lively exchange between researchers and policymakers. It will feature the presentation of a limited selection of papers to spur discussion. Additional papers will be selected to be displayed in the form of posters.

The conference keynote speech shall be delivered by Kalina Manova (University College London).
