Crisis Course: Past and Current Crises and Future Challenges presents a holistic approach to understanding of crises and their implications. Since the global financial crisis, it has become apparent that no countries, even the most advanced, are immune to crises. The course is well structured and covers various aspects of crises along with financial stability and crisis management challenges. From a general understanding of crisis history and involvement of fiscal and monetary authorities, we gradually fill in the details of political, humanitarian and social policies, even global climate change aspects of the crises.  I really appreciate the way the course was organized – it included highly interactive panel discussions, lectures and participant presentations.  Ms. Karine HAMBARYAN, Central Bank of Armenia Austrian Authorities Virtual Crisis Course: Past and Current Crises and Future Challenges November 9-20, 2020
