41. Imina Osemwegie Soul (NG): How do you see research and innovation making a difference for a better future?

It does! But only if we create the right channels. Because there are different types of research: economic research, development research and human research. So it depends on the role every country wants to play. Europe has enough resources, all it need to do is to work on economic research, which means create more labour, more working environment, then it will change the economy. Because at the moment the economy is stagnating, it is not moving forward, because no new jobs are created, every old jobs have been taken, so it is like a boomerang situation. [read more]

45. Benjamin Bruyninx (BE): What is needed to exit the crisis and help Europe's economy to grow?

I think it depends on what we consider as Europe: is it politicians or people in the street? I think that the solution may come from the people and the citizens. There is an important to change the mentalities and I think that people have to be more critical about the world in which they are living and we have to change our habits and our way to consume goods and find new values. And I think that politicians have to help that and they have to believe and to realize that we have to change the system in which we're living and the economical system and the philosophical, political way to consider the world and society in general, today.
