Studies In Behavioral Microeconomics And Energy Usage: In Which Pan Cogito Learns That There Is Indeed A Free Lunch, If Not Free Travel Or Clean Air

June 30, 2008

Dear Pan Cogito,

I would like to invite you to a Conference on European Foreign Policy that will take place in Rome, Italy, from July 7 to July 10. The conference is organized by the University of Rome Tor Vergata, in collaboration with the Centre for American Studies in Rome and the Brookings Institution, and it is co-financed by the European Commission.

In order to draw a comprehensive picture of EU foreign policy, the conference will address both "horizontal" and "vertical" issues. Vertical analyses will explore geographic regions and include the study of relations with the European Neighborhood [you mean the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Turkey, and Belarus?], the United States, Latin America, the Mediterranean Area, the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East; horizontal analyses will explore themes that are relevant to the external dimension of the EU.

The conference is free and open to the public, but requires prior registration. Please note that we are unable to provide any logistical or financial support for travel and lodging, though lunch will be provided at the conference. For the detailed program and for the registration form please see http://www.euintheworld.uniroma2.it.

With my best regards,

Pan Bindi
