Training programmes of universities and business schools that have shaped worldviews and behaviours have undoubtedly contributed to the economic crisis that is still shaking many countries today. Financial innovations, mathematical models and theoretical frameworks based on idealized assumptions have given the illusion of controlled risks and limited volatility.

Based on this observation, it is urgent to promote three forms of pluralism in the economics curricula: pluralism of schools of thought, of methods and of disciplines. The participants to the symposium are invited to share their analysis on these three axes, while reflecting on the potential challenges that could arise from a pluralistic teaching of economics.
