Productivity, Innovation and the Use of AI
The Annual Research Conference (ARC) was set up to bring insights from the latest academic research to the European Commission and to foster dialogue between academic research and policymaking.
Each year, the conference covers a topic relevant to evidence-based policy design in the Commission’s Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the co-organisers of the ARC.
The 2025 edition will explore how AI and Innovation are reshaping productivity and influencing the future of economic policy.
Highlights include:
- Keynote address by Philippe Aghion, Nobel prize winner in economics 2025
- 16 academic papers
- Policy panel featuring Jeromin Zettelmeyer (Bruegel), Beata Javorcik (EBRD), Maximilian Freier (ECB), and Daniel Quirke (Wayve)
Join us — in Brussels or online — for insights, debate, and forward-thinking policy discussion.
