Organisation
The lecture is an annual event. Each year, a leading scholar in the field will be invited to hold the key lecture, which will be made available to a wider audience around the world. The lecture will have an academic standing. It will be held at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, partly as a legacy to Jan Tinbergen the former Nobel Prize Laureate in economics and leading thinker on sustainable development. The lecture will be open to the public and will provide an occasion where policy makers and the scientific community can meet.
