The 2022 Paris Symposium took place at Sciences Po, Paris on 1-3 June and brought together leading voices in European and global economics from across our network.  Over 100 speakers were heard across some 78 sessions.  While the Symposium itself was invitation only, we are making key moments available in the form of live recordings from all the major panels as well as podcasts recorded at the venue and shorter video interviews, all of which will be added to this page as they are published.
