Scientists rejoice: the UK rejoins the Horizon Europe programme
International cooperation is important for economic growth, because it allows societies to grow more than they could on their own.

Cómo Encontrar el Programa de Intercambio Correcto
Exchange programs allow students to study at a different institution as part of their degree. Typically, students will use this opportunity to study abroad at a foreign partner of their home institution, though exchange programs can sometimes take place in the same country. Regardless, these programs are a fantastic way for students to broaden their horizons, take specific courses at another institution, and study abroad without committing to living multiple years in another country.

Assessing Cryptocurrency's Potential to Overthrow the U.S. Dollar's Dominance in the Financial System
For decades, the U.S. dollar has reigned supreme as the world's primary reserve currency. Its dominance can be attributed to several factors, including the size and stability of the U.S. economy, the political influence of the United States, and the widespread acceptance of the dollar in international trade and finance. The dollar's status as the de facto global currency has significant implications for the functioning of the global financial system.

Cómo incorporar la macroeconomía en los cursos de economía ambiental
At the undergraduate level, environmental economics is typically taught as an applied microeconomics course. However, while topics like externalities and common property resources are great for emphasizing efficiency, they don’t always prepare students to consider environmental concerns as part of the broader economy. Incorporating macroeconomics into these courses can help students understand problems that deal with both scale and efficiency, such as how to reconcile economic growth with environmental quality.
