WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It complements the WE_ARE initiative, a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior economists.

The conference took place on 20 and 21 October 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.

United Nations Day 2025 – UN Chief Message | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on United Nations Day (24 October 2025).

“ ‘We the peoples of the United Nations…’
These are not just the opening words of the United Nations Charter – they define
who we are.
The United Nations is more than an institution. It is a living promise – spanning
borders, bridging continents, inspiring generations.
For eighty years, we have worked to forge peace, tackle poverty and hunger,
advance human rights, and build a more sustainable world – together.
As we look ahead, we confront challenges of staggering scale: escalating conflicts,
climate chaos, runaway technologies, and threats to the very fabric of our
institution.
This is no time for timidity or retreat.
Now, more than ever, the world must recommit to solving problems no nation can
solve alone.
On this UN Day, let’s stand together and fulfil the extraordinary promise of your
United Nations.
Let’s show the world what is possible when “we the peoples” choose to act as one.“
