Romano Prodi will be the last guest of the 'Sguardi nel Futuro' exhibition of the University of Pisa, on 19 March at 4pm at the Polo Carmignani, in Piazza dei Cavalieri.
The economist and politician, former president of the European Commission and president of the Council of Ministers, will meet students of the University and of the last classes of high schools to talk about the global crisis and the European crisis.
The scenario that Prodi will outline, explain the organizers of the meeting, "runs from 1945 to today, a period in which despite many local conflicts, much of the world has had 75 years of peace. But the future appears less reassuring as reported by the news coming from Ukraine , Palestine, Taiwan. With the decline of the East and West poles, the planet has in fact become multipolar: the West, Russia, China, India, South America, Arab countries and Africa in full demographic boom. One of the central questions is therefore to understand the role it will have the European Union, for example, will be able to give itself a foreign policy with a weight equal to its economic importance".
The event will be streamed, registration is required to participate in the presence of Unipi students.
