Workshop On Growth and Employment in Europe

I don't plan to hop over to Oxford for the day, particularly since the presentations announced appear more "reporting" than "recommending", and at thirty minutes per presentation--including questions and discussion--"workshop" seems to misrepresent the nature of the event.
