What are the alternatives to economic growth?

If you can answer this question in a bold and unconventional way, you may find yourself at a global conference in Switzerland next year—all expenses paid.

The University of St. Gallen in Switzerland invites graduate and postgraduate students to apply for selection to the 46th St. Gallen Symposium. Students organise the event and bring together global leaders, decision-makers, and some of the world’s brightest young minds. The symposium will take place from 11 - 13 May 2016 with the overarching topic, ‘Growth – the good, the bad, and the ugly.’ And you can stand a chance to be invited as one of the top 100 Leaders of Tomorrow to this prestigious global conference.

In a professional, creative, and thought-provoking essay, develop your alternative guidelines to the concept of growth. Your essay can be a maximum of 2 100 words, must be written in English, and be submitted by Monday 1 February 2016. Seize the opportunity and follow the online guidelines and procedures.
