The Future of Europe at Stake


Political and Economic Freedoms in Turkey and in Europe: Challenges and Promises

3 May 2014, Saturday

Istanbul Commerce University, Eminonu Campus 

The Austrian Economics Center (AEC), in cooperation with over 60 leading think-tanks and universities across Europe and the Caucasus, and in association with international partners such as the Liberty Fund, Global Philanthropic Trust, FreedomWorks, European Students for Liberty, Ruefa and the F.A. v. Hayek Institut, are proud to present the 7th Annual Free Market Road Show, which tours from March 26th to May 12th through 30 capitals in Europe and Caucasus – from Scandinavia to Turkey, from Spain to the Ukraine.

The 2014 Free Market Road Show will bring together leading business people, outstanding scholars and students, opinion leaders, policy experts, elected officials, diplomats and other interested parties from across Europe to discuss the Future of Europe in the context of the European elections that are ahead. Panel discussions at each conference stop will consider the current Euro-zone crisis, explore what kind of Europe people want, examine the ‘conundrum’ in which the European Union finds itself in and discuss ways to turn the current crisis into an opportunity.

The delegates can expect an exciting line up of speakers that will not only debate different European topics but also consider local characteristics that all lead to one central question:

Is the future of Europe at stake?
