Date: Friday, 21st November 2025 Time: 15:00 Brussels Time Objective Lift the conversation from programme mechanics to the core logic of the ARPA model and where it truly fits. We will examine the model’s defining features and ask when a European ARPA-style approach is appropriate, drawing on the MIT/NBER synthesis by Azoulay, Fuchs, Goldstein, and Kearney.
