Munich Economic Summit
The Munich Economic Summit, a joint initiative of CESifo and the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt, organised in partnership with The Times of London, The Wall Street Journal Europe, and Handelsblatt, is aimed at bringing together academic scholars and decision-makers in politics, industry and finance to discuss vital European issues.
The Summit convenes annually and involves only a limited number of invited participants to allow for a private atmosphere.
12th Munich Economic Summit, 16 - 17 May 2013
As the fifth year of the crisis rolls on, Europe is facing a double challenge: to improve its competitiveness, and to stabilise the euro zone. Comprehensive reforms and deeper integration should lead to a new, stronger Europe. Under the title “Relaunching Europe”, the Summit will focus on how Europe can boost out of its low-flying phase. Three panels will address different aspects of such a programme: how Europe can solve its debt crisis (Panel 1: “Becoming Slimmer”); how Europe, despite the enormous differences amongst the individual economies, can develop a stronger, global dynamic (Panel 2: “Getting Fitter”); and, lastly, how much political and economic integration is good for this new Europe (Panel 3: “Growing Stronger”).

5th Summit Lecture, 12 March 2013
In 2009, the CESifo Group and the BMW Stiftung Herbert Quandt launched a Munich-Summit-associated seminar series entitled "Summit Lectures", to be held before the Summit itself and aimed at discussing the main theme of the year's Summit in a smaller, more intimate circle.
The title of the 5th Summit Lecture is "Alternatives to a Transfer Union - How much Economic Policy Integration does the EU need?".
