Richard Thaler's ISSP Lecture passes the 100 mark

With a bit more than one month to go until this year's ISSP Lecture presenting economist Richard Thaler we have now passed the first milestone: 100 people have signed up for the event which will take place at Metropol in Copenhagen October 21.

If that wasn't an achievement in itself, it turns out that those signed up fall equally in all the groups targeted by ISSP: academia, businesses, citizens organizations, policy-makers, journalists, and so on. I perceive this balance to be one of the most important ideals to aspire to as it is our declared aim to try to create the best conditions for a balanced and sound debate about developments in the ISSP focus areas.

But needless to say, 100 people is not where we stop. The coming week we'll be working hard to reach the 200 people mark by spreading the word primarily in academic circles.
