Cryptocurrencies

The show must go on.

As the year draws to a close, we are delighted to come back to you with our 18th issue. The spring issue is also marking the handover to the newly elected board after a highly eventful year for our magazine.

We are proud of launching the new website and provide our online readers with exclusive content. This year's coffee talks were highly popular and we are pleased to invite you to our annual public lecture with Daniel Coublucq from the European Commission as guest

speaker. You will find in the magazine a new section where we share articles with fellow student magazine Politics and Policy from Northwestern University. We are also proud to announce our new partnership with highly regarded consulting firm AlixPartners. This

partnership will undoubtedly prove invaluable for the current expansion of the magazine.

Inside the magazine, you will find a very insightful interview with Marianne Fay about the World Bank’s initiatives to fight climate change and more about the situation of women in economics or the future of anthropology. The Spotlight team reflected, after the end of last year’s fever on cryptocurrencies and blockchain, on the future of those digital currencies and the promises of the blockchain technology to the world.

As the time for farewell draws nearer, I would like to pay tribute to all the magazine's members I had the honour to work with. Especially to Nicolas, Annie, Tristan, Sai and Kristina for their dedication towards making a better magazine. Alfonso and his team will surely succeed in our perpetual quest for providing our readers with quality content andvibrant debates.
