PEAC

The Progressive Economy Academics' Network, or PEAC, is a major project within the Progressive Economy initiative. The quality and academic relevance of the project is secured through its Scientific Board, composed of leading European and international academics from the economic and social research fields.  The aim of PEAC is to foster theoretical and empirical research on economic and social issues, and to facilitate the transmission of this research into progressive politics, with a particular focus on European economic and social challenges. Besides the annual call for papers, this also includes research funding across the initiative's policy issues; the publication and dissemination of academic contributions through the Journal for a Progressive Economy; a programme of academic seminars; and an online membership-based networking platform. Within PEAC, the PEAC Future project encourages and supports research work from young academics of up to 35 years of age.
