Lansam Official Development Assistance School

Asa cum ai aflat odata cu inceperea programului “Discover the UN.”, in perioada 7-11 decembrie te invitam sa participi la primul proiect ce are ca tema centrala asistenta pentru dezvoltare, ODA School, bineinteles sub marca Econosofia.

Discover the UN

Working for the UN is indeed a mighty goal. You need language skills, excellent training, experience, a thorough education and a bit of luck. Whether you want to work at one of the main headquarters in NY, Vienna or   Geneva or for one of the local agencies you need determination, the right skills at the right time and know-how.

Relaţiile economice româno-moldovene

De ceva timp lucrez la un raport despre relaţiile de comerţ şi investiţii dintre România şi Republica Moldova şi sunt câteva lucruri care m-au surprins în cercetarea pe care am făcut-o. Cum Moldova a fost un subiect fierbinte pe tot parcursul anului 2009 din cauza crizei politice, a protestelor de stradă şi a neaşteptatei victorii în alegeri a necomuniştilor, vă invit să citiţi câteva dintre ele.

Let`s make sense of today’s economy!

ECONOSOFIA. Making sense of today’s economy.

În octombrie, hai să descifrăm tainele economiei!

Aplică la Econosofia şi vei intra într-un mediu dinamic în care învăţăm şi ne dezvoltăm constant, iar cu fiecare proiect realizat devenim mai buni în ceea ce facem. Iată cum:

Crisis aftermath in a new term

Everyone’s talking about it – it’s been a year since the crisis officially started and while any possible aspect of it has been deeply covered in the media, in politics and just about anywhere else its truly surprising effects are just making themselves known.

The Economy’s on Prozac…

…Curious to know why?

În contextul stării actuale, depăşind cu mult parametrii unei simple schimbări ciclice, criza economică cronică pare să răspundă stimulilor care vizează tratarea acesteia cu diferite politici care au efecte anti-depresive. Astfel, într-o lume descurajată, în vederea găsirii unor soluţii, care nu doar atenuează circumstanţele, clubul Econosofia, din cadrul organizaţiei studenţeşti Voluntari pentru Idei şi Proiecte, organizează, în perioada 4-8 mai 2009, cea de-a şasea ediţie a proiectului Economics through a Macrofying Glass.

To be or not to be …That is the question

Nowadays, Europe manifests two completely different trends, one of them, integration through European Union and the enlargement process, and other, fragmentation by obtaining autonomy by some regions, the most recent example of this being Kosovo. On the other hand, to make part of EU, it’s necessary the dissolution of conflicts inside the state that wants to adhere to European Union.

Why the need for autonomy? Why do conflicts that lead to fragmentation appear? Or more exactly, what are the causes of those already existing?

Is it really snowing in Europe?

A new trend, and also a fear, has been born in the scientific arena: demographic winter, which means the disappearance of the human race by slowly decreasing the number of people.

I remember a few years ago (like 7 years) watching a documentary on Discovery showed what the Earth would look like in future: cities on sees, huge blocks, every square meter was used to build something because ground wouldn’t be enough for the population.

What is sustainable development?

The concept appeared in earlier decades due to a high number of environmental movements. It was first defined by World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) as the development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This definition is clear enough, no need for further explanations. But there are two more questions worth thinking about: Why should we think about the future generations and how do we implement sustainable development?
