2024 may prove to be a year of great change: European elections in June, U.S. elections in November, two wars on Europe's doorstep with uncertain outcomes, and many rapidly shifting balances. Understanding the trajectories and shifts in the international order becomes increasingly difficult but, at the same time, essential to better understand the world in which we move and imagine what it will be like in the future.
 
What has happened in the first few months of the year and how does this affect global economic trends? What is changing in the world order? What can we expect from the months ahead?
 
This meeting will offer participants an opportunity to orient themselves in this rapidly changing world through discussions with Federico Rampini, Corriere della Sera columnist and author. With a vision capable of holding together a multitude of geopolitical, cultural and economic factors, an attempt will be made to take stock of the first half of the year, to understand its deep dynamics, hot spots and imagine its developments. 
 
In particular, we will discuss:

• 2024: how did it begin? A look at the most salient events
• 2024: economic trends and the emergence of new empires
• 2024: what to expect? Elections in the United States and Europe.
