Shaping Ideas, Inspiring Futures

Najat El Mekkaoui

University Paris Dauphine

The Conference on Pension, Insurance and Savings, organized by Paris-Dauphine University since 2003 under the leadership of Najat El Mekkaoui (Economics Department LEDA-DIAL), focuses on exploring models and methodologies for effectively mobilizing savings, investing pension assets, and managing retirement funds. This interdisciplinary conference addresses the challenges posed by demographic trends and old-age dependency risks, while also examining the broader context of macroeconomic challenges like energy transition. It emphasizes the development of tools and strategies for better managing financial and non-financial risks in these areas. By bringing together a diverse range of participants including researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers, the conference fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange at the intersection of finance, economics, and social policy.
