Join us for the Annual Conference on EU-US Competitiveness in Honor of Ambassador Donald Blinken focusing on EU-US competitiveness, particularly in view of the challenges associated with the green and digital transitions.

Jointly organized by Columbia SIPA's Center on Global Economy and Governance, the European Investment Bank, Société Générale and SUERF – the European Money and Finance Forum. 

The annual Ambassador Donald and Vera Blinken Lecture Series on Global Governance is a distinguished university-wide lecture examining public and foreign policy issues, often with a European focus. Donald Blinken made a lasting impact in fields ranging from public service, serving as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary from 1994 to 1998, to investment banking, education, and the arts throughout his estimable career. This year's conference will be held in Ambassador Blinken's memory.
