On June 20, 2023, the 'Politics of Basic Income Talk Series' featured an online event titled 'UBI in Central and Eastern Europe: Attention, Strategies and Reforms'. This series is organized monthly by the Bath UBI Beacon and the Freiburg Institute of Basic Income Studies (FRIBIS) in partnership with the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN).
Two experts discussed Universal Basic Income (UBI) in their regions:
Boglárka Herke examined UBI in Hungary, focusing on public perception, particularly in relation to AI, and analyzed obstacles to its popularity.
Maciej Szlinder presented a proposed pilot program in the Polish-Russian border region, outlining its design and public reception despite lack of implementation due to funding issues.
