The University of Nicosia (UNIC) attended the GAIDAR Forum, between 16 and 18 January, at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA).
Established in 2010, the annual event assembles experts whose achievements in economics have a global impact and influence the socio-economic development of regions and countries. To this end, it brings together global economy figures, Nobel Prize winners, renowned professors from the world’s leading universities (Harvard, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, etc.), as well as representatives of the Russian and foreign political elite.
Dubbed as the ‘Russian Davos’ by the Russian media on account of the eminence of its participants, the event also addresses the main trends in Russia’s socio-economic and political development, and the barometer of its business environment and investment climate.
The Financial Times rates the GAIDAR Forum as one of the top 5 world business events, while it stands out as one of the most quoted economic conferences in Russia. Organizers include the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), the GAIDAR Institute for Economic Policy (GAIDAR Institute), and the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR).
