The Institut participated to the 2025 LAU Economics Department Networking Event organized by the Department of Economics at the Adnan Kassar School of Business, in collaboration with the Economics Club on the LAU Beirut campus.
The event aims at engaging economics students top-tier organizations to gain industry-specific insights and foster professional connections to help them enhance their career paths.
Some of the other top-tier organizations present included the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Association of Lebanese Industrialists (ALI), the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, the Policy Initiative and several UN entities like the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN Women, each of which set up informative booths and held one-on-one discussions with ambitious students.
The event also included a panel discussion titled: "Next-Gen economies: Insights on work, technology and institutional reform in Lebanon and the Arab Region" in which our project manager, Maya Bsaibes, took part.
It explored the future of work and evolving labour market trends in Lebanon and the broader Arab region and brought together high-level experts from international and regional organizations to share insights on workforce readiness, public sector reform, technology integration, and sustainable economic development, as well as progress towards the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
