Conferences & Workshops

The Global Solutions Initiative provides recommendations and visions for the Group of Twenty (G20) on major, global challenges. The visions rest on recoupling economic prosperity with social prosperity. To generate policy proposals, the Global Solutions Initiative brings major think tanks and research organizations together in its Council for Global Problem-Solving.

To stimulate underlying research and connect researchers to relevant policymakers, the Global Solutions Initiative is associated with various workshops, conferences and research networks that share the recoupling vision, such as the Social Macroeconomics Network of the ESRC Initiative on Rebuilding Macroeconomics, the OECD Initiative on New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC), and ERINN (Economic Research on Identities, Norms and Narratives).

Past Activities

June 26-28, 2022 | Schloss Elmau, Germany

G7 Summit 2022

The G7 Summit 2022 will take place from 26 to 28 June at Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps – as did the last G7 Summit under the German Presidency in June 2015. It will also be the seventh Summit to be hosted by Germany. The first time the G7 heads of state and government met under a German Presidency was in Bonn in 1978.

“We will make the most of our G7 Presidency to ensure this group of states takes on a pioneering role – in the pursuit of climate neutrality and an equitable world,” said Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the handover of the G7 Presidency. Many of the goals Germany set itself at the beginning of the year had gained even greater urgency in view of the changed global situation, stressed the Federal Chancellor at the Global Solutions Summit at the end of March, referring to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

The G7 consists of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Canada and the USA. The European Union is also represented at all G7 meetings. The Presidency rotates between members on an annual basis. Germany takes over the Presidency from the UK in 2022 and will be succeeded by Japan in 2023.

Science7 Dialogue Forum 2022

As “Science7”, the science and research community is an official part of the G7 process. In 2022, under the leadership of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the science academies of the G7 countries have prepared evidence-based recommendations on central topics of the summit agenda. Thematic priorities are the development of antiviral drugs for pandemic preparedness, the One Health approach and global health challenges posed by zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance, the impact of climate change on polar regions and ocean, and the decarbonisation of the energy system.At the Science7 Dialogue Forum, the joint statements will be presented and discussed with national and international experts and the public. The presidents of the science academies of the G7 countries will hand over the statements with concrete recommendations to Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

May 24-25, 2022
Women7 Summit 2022

Women7 (W7) is a group of civil society organizations that come together to promote proposals on gender equality and women’s rights within the G7 process. Building on feminist principles of intersectionality and inclusion, W7 aims to bring together voices from civil society around the world to critically reflect on and inform G7 outcomes. Its objective is to ensure that G7 leaders make concrete political and financial commitments that can have a tangible, lasting and transformative impact on the lives of women and girls in all their diversity. Women7 hosts rotate on an annual basis along with the G7 presidencies.

May 23-24, 2022 | Berlin, Germany
Think7 Summit 2022

The Think7 Summit is organised by the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) and the Global Solutions Initiative (GSI), as think tanks mandated for the Think7 process during the German G7 presidency in 2022. It is organised in partnership with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) and the Aspen Institute Germany.

Taking into account the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, we will present and discuss the key policy recommendation put forward by the Think7 Task Forces on Climate and Environment, Sustainable Economic Recovery, Global Health, International Cooperation for the Global Common Good and Social Cohesion, Economic Transformation and Open Societies. With high-level representatives from the German Federal Government we want to enter into dialogue about the contribution of the G7 Summit in Elmau to solving the most urgent global challenges.

A large number of representatives from leading scientific institutions and think tanks from G7 countries will participate in the Think7 Summit. We look forward to facilitating exchange between them and decision-makers from the German government as well as representatives of international organisations, civil society, labour and business. At the Think7 Summit we will also build bridges between the Think7 and Think20 process, which brings together think tanks from G20 countries.

The Think7 Summit will be an on-site event. Parts of the Summit will be held as hybrid sessions. The on-site venue will be the premises of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin.

In cooperation with theGermanFederal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection, a comprehensive discussion has been initiated to advance the debate on digital governance, accompanying the German EU Council Presidency in 2020. 

This panel is the third in a series of sessions discussing the challenges of current data ownership regulation and possible solutions to these challenges. This session will explore the road from theory to practice. Having outlined the proposal for strengthening data ownership, we will discuss implications for business in terms of positive effects for innovation and fair competition, as well as possible challenges created by the proposed regulation of data ownership.

Evening Talk VI – Sustainably out of the crisis? (in German)
Tagesspiegel

With the 2030 Agenda, the global community has set 17 global goals for sustainability. In addition to ecological and economic sustainability for a forward-looking society, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations also firmly anchor the goals of social sustainability. But what is the real state of cohesion in crisis-ridden times like these? It is already becoming clear that the economic recession caused by the Corona pandemic and the coming massive sovereign debt crisis will provoke conflicts over prosperity and that social fault lines in society will become even more apparent. This poses major challenges for the government as well as for companies and society.

T20 Handover Event – From Saudi Arabia to Italy. G20 and T20 priorities for (another) crucial year.

The Covid-19 emergency has compounded longstanding global challenges for the multilateral system. From climate change to digital transformation, from international trade to growth and social cohesion, these are testing times for multilateralism.

On the occasion of the handover from the Chair of T20 Saudi Arabia to the Chair of T20 Italy, some key questions will drive the debate: what are the lessons learned from past presidencies?
