5th Kiel - CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics
**5th Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics** is a professional and academic conference taking place November 3–4, 2026, in Berlin, Germany. Participants engage with research and policy discussions on the intersection of geography, economics, and international relations. The conference brings together scholars and practitioners to present findings, exchange ideas, and examine contemporary geoeconomic challenges and trends.
Why it matters
For students and delegates interested in international political economy, trade, and global strategy, this conference signals a focused discussion space around **geoeconomics**. Even from the limited public facts, the title alone points to questions at the intersection of economics, policy, and international relations.
Because it is a **professional** and **in-person** event, it may be especially relevant for those looking to understand how geoeconomic issues are discussed in a real conference setting beyond classroom or committee simulation formats.
How to prepare
A good preparation strategy is to build a working understanding of **geoeconomics** as a field: how states use economic tools to pursue strategic goals, and how trade, investment, sanctions, supply chains, and industrial policy shape international affairs. Reviewing recent case studies in these areas can help you follow discussions more confidently.
Since no committee list is provided, prepare broadly rather than narrowly. Focus on key global economic-security themes, practice summarizing current issues clearly, and be ready to connect economic developments to foreign policy and international cooperation.
