Tampere 2018
Nordic UBI Day
23 August 2018, University of Tampere, Main building (auditorium D10b)
The Nordic day of the BIEN 2018 congress will be held in the afternoon of the 23rd of August in advance of the official opening of the congress. Everyone participating in the congress is invited to take part in this Nordic session, which will be held in English.
The main idea of the Nordic UBI Day session consists of the following thematic outlines:
A representative from each of the five Nordic countries will give a picture of the national situation in relation to the implementation of a basic income. Which are the concrete proposals that are on the political agenda? How large is the potential support for different ideas? How well does a BI fit the relatively universal Nordic welfare systems? What can we learn from the different experiences? There will be both separate presentations and a panel, during which the audience can ask questions and make comments.
Please register for the Nordic UBI Day HERE.
