What is a Webinar?
Webinar is short for a seminar or presentation transmitted over the Web.  Webinars can be highly interactive experiences in a “virtual meeting room” where participants are able to see and hear the presentor, and/or a slide show, video or multimedia presentation in real time from their desktop computers. They can also interact and share their comments, experiences and questions through various tools like voting, pooling, chat, voice, etc., assuring a full participation between the audience and the speakers.  One of the main advantages of webinars is that, if some participants cannot attend the real-time synchronous meeting, the Webinar is saved and they can watch it later on.
Webinar Series
Growth and Competitiveness
Emerging Issues in Economics

The ‘Emerging Issues in Economics’ is a free monthly webinar series that discusses cutting edge issues in development. Experts from the World Bank will share the latest approaches on topics such as social entrepreneurship and green growth through online presentations. The goal of the webinar series is to educate and foster discussion around pressing issues in development.
 

These webinars target mostly policy makers and practitioners, but everybody is welcome to attend. Each webinar will take place on the first or second Tuesday of every month and will be available through the E-Institute portal. After the presentation, participants will also have the opportunity to interact with the speaker through a question and answer session.
