Contributions to the 3rd edition of Renaissance in Economics Roma, May 14 and 15, 2026

Renaissance in Economics is a program of international discussion created to revitalize the idea of a “reviving economy”: an economy capable of regenerating social bonds, protecting the environment, and quality of work, placing human dignity and responsibility toward communities at its core. An event dedicated to the world of research where professors and researchers, doctoral students, and students can meet and discuss the cutting edge of economic research, building a common language and a shared direction.

The conference arises from the need to respond to the intertwined crises of our time and the need to rethink both economic models and public policies with a focus on sustainability, equity, and resilience. Specifically, it aims to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue between research, institutions, businesses, and civil society to challenge established assumptions (such as the idea of homo oeconomicus), enhance stakeholder-oriented business approaches, and develop criteria for measuring well-being that go beyond GDP, also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The goal is to contribute to a paradigm shift that transforms values and principles into concrete practices, tools, and decisions.

The Manifesto for the New Economy is not just the reference document for this conference, but a living text open to modification and improvement. It is not a point of arrival, but an open platform that welcomes updates, questions, and emerging perspectives to increasingly adapt to the changing socioeconomic context in which we live.

The aim is to build a common language and a direction, clarifying what is meant by “new economy,” the values it underpins, the priorities that guide decisions, and the criteria for measuring progress over time.

For the first time, Renaissance in Economics is providing participants with a summary document of all 220+ research contributions presented. Collected and organized under the 5 Pillars of the Manifesto for the New Economy, they present a wealth of reflections and studies that seek to rethink development models and propose ways to reduce social inequalities and environmental fragility, accompany the transformations that work, society, and the market are facing, including shifting political perspectives.
