We kindly invite you to participate in the interdisciplinary seminar International public goods and global taxation - legal and economic challenges, which is organised by Kozminski University.

The meeting will be held in a stationary format on 23 May 2024 from 16:00 to 18:00 in room D/123 at the premises of our University at 57/59 Jagiellońska Street in Warsaw.

Specialists will address the growing challenges facing today's transnational economy. Problems such as climate change, mass migration, tax avoidance or ensuring market competition largely escape regulation within the framework of nation states and thus require intervention at the international level. There is no doubt that global challenges need to find an answer in the form of transnational public goods that complement and regulate the functioning of the global market-based economy.

We were overcome with unspeakable grief upon learning of the sudden death of Professor Hu Biliang, member of the TIGER Scientific Advisory Board at Kozminski University. This outstanding scientist and academic teacher, an economist creatively engaged in studies on the issues of socio-economic development, left us so prematurely. We owe Him the establishment and effective management of the Belt and Road School at the renowned Beijing Normal University. His publications are known to many economists and policymakers not only in His native China, but also throughout the world. Thanks to His efforts, the Belt and Road School has educated many hundreds of students from all continents in the international MBA program. Professor Hu, always very busy, has created a network of eminent scholars from many countries around the world engaged in research on inclusive globalization, sustainable development, and peaceful international cooperation. He was also our great friend and spokesman for China's pragmatic cooperation with the West, including the European Union and Poland in particular. Although His scientific publications and students remain with us, we will miss Him very much.
