The Project LINK Research Centre is responsible for the organization of two formal conferences per year; one of them takes place in New York and the other at varying locations around the world. This year the school of economics at Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City will proudly be the host of the LINK conference to be held May 16-20, 2005. These semi-annual meetings are attended by representatives from the national centres, outside observers, and guest speakers on timely topics. Participants discuss the forecasts prepared with the LINK model as well as alternative scenarios analyzing the impact of different economic policy assumptions or hypothetical global disturbances. The meetings also include discussions of emerging world economic issues, as well as technical papers on econometric modelling and methods of global economic analysis. In addition, the Centre maintains a series of informal workshops on issues of LINK system development and modelling techniques in general.

Participants who are members of the project, members of academic communities and general public interested in the topics of the conference will be welcomed.
