| 50 years ago, in January 1972, the UK joined the European Economic Community. But after 47 years as members, the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement saw the UK leave the EU and set off in a different direction.
For this special half-day conference, to coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the UK’s ascension and 3 years since the UK exiting the EU, we have two panels that will look retrospectively and prospectively at the relationship between the UK and the EU.
Speakers include: Catherine Barnard, Professor of EU law and Employment Law at Cambridge University, and Senior Fellow at UK in a Changing Europe
Catherine Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, former High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and former First Vice President of the European Commission
Sir Jonathan Faull, former senior official at the EU Commission
Jonathan Hill, Baron Hill of Oareford, former EU Commissioner
Neil Kinnock, Baron Kinnock, former EU Commissioner
Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs and Director of UK in a Changing Europe
Jennifer Rankin, Brussels correspondent for the Guardian
Sophie Stowers, Researcher at UK in a Changing Europe, co-author of the UKICE report
Bruno Waterfield, Brussels correspondent for The Times
Venue: Science Gallery London, Great Maze Pond, London, SE1 9GU
