| The next decade is likely to see significant widening and deepening of the Union. Whether because of Brexit or because of external events, rapid reform for the EU, its policies and its institutions is the order of the day in Brussels. The Federal Trust and James Madison Charitable Trust are jointly organising this one-day conference to consider what a reformed European Union will look like in 2033.
The agenda of the conference will revolve around four central topics, the EU as a geopolitical actor, the EU’s economic future, the EU’s democratic legitimacy and the EU’s environmental policies. Expert speakers will lead the discussion of these topics in separate sessions, during which there will be ample time for the audience to contribute its views and questions. The conference will not aim to predict in detail the EU’s future development. It will seek rather to analyse the challenges and options that decision-makers in the EU will face in the coming years.
Participation in the conference is free but registration is required. Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided. Spaces for this event are limited. |
