Until recently the topic of UBI was discussed rarely outside the academic field or within niche political circles. It's groups like ours that have brought then debate to the public fuelled by the COVID 19 pandemic, basic income has now broken out of the academic discussion and niche political circles.  

Our Local Organising Committee is made with one goal in mind researching and promoting the cause of UBI. Hosting the BIEN congress is a privilege which helps us complete both of our goals. Igniting debate around the topic and furthering its publicity.

We are lucky to have the contribution of everyone on the LOC and without them the Congress would not be possible.
