Dear Readers,<\/span><\/p>\n

On the occasion of the Annual Conference of Aspen Institute Central Europe, it is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to the printed version of the Aspen Review 2022 in which we selected the articles published throughout the year 2022 which resonated the most as well as reflect on our program activities. There is no need to be concerned that you might have missed something, however, as all the articles are available on our website where we publish articles on a weekly basis. I hope you will enjoy this special edition which is mainly focused on the current situation in Central Europe and the heavy load of issues that this region currently faces.<\/p>\n

Dariusz Ka\u0142an in his article \u201cA Hungarian pro-Moscow course?\u201d describes how Hungary\u2019s Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n was reluctant to believe that Putin would attempt a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Zuzanna Lewandowska, social entrepreneur and NGO executive from Poland, is looking for answers on who shapes the Brave New World now. Should we be building artificial intelligence just because we can? Is there a master plan behind the way technological advancements shape our societies, or are we putting humanity\u2019s future into pure chance? We are proud to say that this article was published thanks to Zuzanna\u2019s participation in the Socrates Seminars held by Aspen Institute Central Europe this September.<\/p>\n

In 2022, we also published an expert study The Future of the Labor Market in cooperation with the Boston Consulting Group, and in an interview for Aspen Review, Ji\u0159\u00ed \u0160vejcar, a partner of BCG, goes deeper into the outcomes of the study. He says: \u201cThe Czech labor market will have transformed radically by 2030, some jobs will disappear entirely and approximately 330,000 people will lose their jobs,\u201d and explains why upskilling and reskilling are so important.<\/p>\n

In another article, Bruno Ma\u00e7\u00e3es shared his thoughts with Tom\u00e1\u0161 Klva\u0148a. They make us reflect on problems beyond this region, making a case for Europe emerging as a geopolitical Union. \u201cThe EU has been much bolder and more decisive than the average member state in this crisis,\u201d Bruno Ma\u00e7\u00e3es says, and we are curious if you would agree?<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, Benjamin Cunningham reviews \u201cMy Seven Lives: Jana Jur\u00e1\u0148ov\u00e1 in Conversation with Agne\u0161a Kalinov\u00e1\u201d. Nearly 100 years after her birth, Agne\u0161a Kalinov\u00e1\u2019s story serves as a bridge to an entirely transformed Central Europe, and we invite you to dive into this article and the book itself to reflect on questions of survival, cultural evolution and Kalinov\u00e1\u2019s memories which bring color to what might otherwise appear as\u00a0black-and-white images.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to express my deep gratitude for your support and we\u00a0cannot wait to connect with you at one of Aspen Institute Central Europe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the reading and I wish you health, positive energy, respect and\u00a0courage.<\/span><\/p>\n
