Comment: Reads somewhat like a promo, with a lot of big claims unreferenced. The table could probably be removed entirely, as it seems difficult to verify with reliable sources. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:19, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
The Warwick Economics Summit (WES) is an annual student-run conference based at the University of Warwick. The summit was first held in 2002 and has taken place every year since, hosting speakers and panels around economics, international relations, and politics. It claims to be the largest student-run summit in Europe.[1].
The summit has hosted 19 Nobel Laureates and 4 Nobel Peace Prize winners including Edmund Phelps, Shirin Ebadi, and Lars Peter Hansen. The speakers and panelisits who have attended WES include members of royal families, former heads of state, and leaders of international organisations.
The 2024 edition of the summit is scheduled to take place from the 2nd to the 4th of Feburary.
History
editThe first edition of the summit was held in January 2002 titled No longer inevitable? The Future of the World Economy after September 11th. It was the first ever inter-university undergraduate economics event in the United Kingdom [2].
In 2016 the former Prime Minister of Italy, Enrico Letta, praised the summit for being "modern and creative" whilst speaking about how he believed it is important for the United Kingdom to stay in the European Union [3].
After speaking at the 2018 edition of the summit, Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkol Karman was suspended from the Al-Islah political party in Yemen. In her speech at WES she commented on what she saw as "reckless adventurism" by the Saudi-led coalition when they intervened in 2015, after Iran-aligned Houthi forces drove the President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile [4].
At the 2023 edition of WES, a group of students from Student Action Warwick occupied the venue with a banner reading "Abolish The Economy", demanding the cancellation of the event [5]
