Dear colleagues and friends,

We are back. After a lot of video-conferencing we will host our first real-life event in the OIB on Tuesday, July 21st, 6 pm.

In the first public research seminar of a series we will tackle the most pressing issue at the moment: How to manage Lebanon out of its current manifold and overlapping crises. We will start with the economy and banking sector and have invited Nicolas Chikhani, a renowned Harvard-educated banking and economy expert with Swiss experience (see bio below). He will talk about the root causes, the current state, and the possible solution of the crises.

The event will take place outdoors and social distancing rules will be followed. Please bring masks.

Looking forward to seeing you again!
