SUMMARY:Brexit: a failed project in a failing state
DESCRIPTION:Another Europe Is Possible\n\nBrexit has failed to address any of the substantive challenges of the day\, but it was not a ‘year zero’ for the many problems facing the United Kingdom and\, in fact\, reflected decades of public policy failure. That’s the argument of Oxford University professor Danny Dorling in his provocative new report\, Brexit: a failed project in a failing state\, published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible. \nJoin AEIP at the report launch in person or online on Wednesday 25 October\, 6pm BST to discuss how we can organise to fight government failure and overturn the consequences of years of destructive policy. \nThe in-person event takes place from 6pm on Wed 25 Oct at Room 1.08 Marshall Building\, London School of Economics and Political Science\, Lincoln Inn Fields London WC2A 3LY. \nHear from: \nDanny Dorling (@dannydorling) is the Halford Mackinder Professor in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. He is the author of Inequality and the 1%\, third edition published in autumn 2019. His most recent book is Shattered Nation; Inequality and the Geography of A Failing State (Verso Books\, 2023). His report\, Brexit: a failed project in a failing state? is published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible. \nZoe Williams (@zoesqwilliams) is a Guardian journalist\, the author of Get It Together: Why We Deserve Better Politics (Hutchinson\, 2016) and the co-host of the Another Europe Is Possible podcast. \nLuke Cooper (@lukecooper100) is an Associate Professorial Research Fellow in International Relations at LSE IDEAS\, LSE’s in-house foreign policy think tank and director of PeaceRep’s Ukraine programme. He is a co-host of the Another Europe podcast\, and presented Between Dream and Tragedy; Europe’s Story After 1989\, a six-part podcast documentary on European history. His book Authoritarian Contagion: The Global Threat to Democracy was published by Bristol University Press in 2021. \nZoom Ticket: https://lse.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMlcuGvrTwtG9CGJPWzO9cr2k3ANNXM2aRH#/registration \nIn Person Ticket: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brexit-a-failed-project-in-a-failing-state-tickets-726025721477?aff=oddtdtcreator

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. \nThe 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. \nParticipation in the conference is free but registration is required. Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided. Spaces for this event are limited.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAMME\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome \n\nBrendan Donnelly\, The Federal Trust\nDavid Grace\, James Madison Charitable Trust\n\nWhat will the EU look like in 2033? \n\nAlison Weston\, European External Action Service\n\nSoft power and hard power of the EU in 2033 \n\nJohn Stevens\, The Federal Trust\nMary Dejevksy\, Journalist\, writer and broadcaster\n\nIt’s the Economy\, stupid \n\nGraham Bishop\, Consultant on EU financial integration\, Founder of grahambishop.com\nProfessor Rosa Lastra\, Queen Mary University of London\n\nDemocratic challenges for the EU \n\nProfessor Julie Smith\, University of Cambridge\nProfessor Adrian Pabst \, University of Kent (invited)\n\nEnvironmental challenges for the EU \n\nLord Chris Smith\, Former Chair of the Environment Agency\nFurther speakers to be announced\n\nConcluding remarks \n\nAndrew Duff\, Academic Fellow\, EPC; Former MEP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA PDF version of the programme is available for download on the event website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE SUPPORT OUR WORK\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Federal Trust receives no public funding and we therefore rely on donations to be able to continue our work in favour of federalist philosophy and policies\, at the global\, European and national level.You can donate through any of the online platforms below.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Euro Walk for EU Citizens' Rights
DESCRIPTION:We are the Citizens Rights Project\, the leading organization in Scotland for all EU nationals in need to secure their rights. \nWe are organizing a fundraising walk around those sights and locations in Edinburgh that highlight the historical contributions European citizens have made to Scotland/ the historical links among European Citizens and Scotland. \nWe will be visiting places around central Edinburgh\, some of which are already known for their European connections\, and some others which you may never have realized are interlinked to European heritage/ history. \nAmongst the places we will visit are ones with a connection with France\, Netherlands\, Poland\, Switzerland\, Norway\, Spain\, Germany\, Spain\, Belgium\, Italy\, Ukraine\, and Portugal – and perhaps a few other countries as well! You can do the walk in a group led by our expert guide\, or on your own with our self-guided route. \nIt won’t all be about dry historical details- we will also be visiting locations with a contemporary European vibe! \n  \nThe total duration of the walk will be about one and a half hours\, which will allow a reasonably leisurely walk. The entire route can be undertaken ‘step-free’. \n(In the event of bad weather\, the route may be varied). \nThe charge for each participant is £10\, and all money raised will go directly to the Citizens’ Rights Project. Find more information about the work of the Citizens Rights Project here: https://citizensrightsproject.org/ \nWe will meet at 11 am on Saturday 14 October\, at a central Edinburgh location. Details will be provided to those who book a place. The start and end points are both less than 15 minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Waverley station\, with good bus and cycle links also. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:The EU and Brexit negotiations: views from Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Brexit has dominated headlines in the UK for years. Yet the perspective has often been centred on British politics\, leaving a big part of the story untold.

This event brings together renowned observers and practitioners of Brexit from the European side to discuss these issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Brigid Laffan\nEmeritus Professor at the European University Institute\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStefaan De Rynck\nHead of the European Commission’s Representation in Belgium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the RSE Scotland-Europe Initiative\, held in partnership with the Europa Institute\, University of Edinburgh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook now

SUMMARY:What went wrong with Brexit?
DESCRIPTION:Peter Foster in conversation with Alex Hall Hall\nSpeakers: Peter Foster\, Alex Hall Hall\nOrganised by: Grassroot for Europe.\nBooking Website:\nhttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/grassrootsforeurope1/970098# \nRegistration is now open for Grassroots for Europe’s next public webinar\, talking a week after publication with Peter Foster\, author of what may be one of the most important books on Brexit yet to appear\, What Went Wrong With Brexit (and What We Can Do About It?) (Canongate\, September 7th). Peter is public policy editor of the Financial Times and has led its incisive and acclaimed coverage of Brexit. He’ll talk about his book and its message to Alex Hall Hall\, the diplomat and ambassador who resigned in protest at post-Brexit UK government dishonesty\, and is now an influential columnist with Byline Times. \nA world-leading business\, trade and finance journalist\, Peter and his colleagues at the FT made earlier this year a 27-minute video on the effects of Brexit which had 5 million views\, prompting him to write this book\, a comprehensive\, detailed and damning survey which has already earned wide acclaim: \n“Foster has been a tireless and expert chronicler of Brexit reality even as many of his fellow journalists failed or refused to understand both simple and complex facts” (James O’Brien)\n“We are trapped in a desperate corner\, argues Foster\, with limited options” (Will Hutton)\n“Everyone should read this book. Then read it again and memorise it” (Emily Maitlis) \nFoster shows in compelling detail the damaging effects our Brexit deal has has on our economy\, shows that these they are inevitable\, not accidental\, and shows how they are set to deepen as UK and EU diverge. Then he shows what remedies and mitigations may be available to UK politicians who commit to retaining our current Brexit red lines.\nFoster’s conclusions are challenging and sobering. These improvements are worth having if we can get them\, but not enough. They will not “make Brexit work”. Foster does not tell us what we should do\, but says that “space is now emerging for a rethink”. Business is restless\, industries are at risk\, investment is flatlining. It is certainly time for a rethink. \nRegistration is open and free\, donations are welcome to fund future live events. \n

SUMMARY:Enlightened economics
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing modern Britain\n\n\n\n\nJesse Norman MP in conversation with Amanda Rowlatt\nRegister to attend in person or to receive an access link for online viewers. \nAdam Smith was a leading political economy thinker of the Scottish enlightenment in the mid-late 18th century. But as the “Father of Capitalism” his pioneering work on free market economics has influenced politicians\, philosophers and economists throughout the 19th\, 20th and 21st centuries too. \nBut modern Britain – as well as other advanced economies – is struggling with economic stagnation. Many people are questioning the central tenants of capitalism that Smith championed – from free trade and globalisation to regulation and the role of the state – and whether they can deliver the living standards growth that people need. What lessons can we learn from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing Britain today? \nTo mark the 300th anniversary of the birth of Adam Smith\, the Resolution Foundation is co-hosting an event with the Society of Professional Economists to discuss what his work can teach us about the economic challenges of Britain today. We will be joined by one of the leading experts on Adam Smith\, Minister and author Jesse Norman MP. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Signup\n

SUMMARY:Fife4Europe: Scotland's future relationship with Europe
DESCRIPTION: Fife4Europe will be joined by North East Fife MP\, Wendy Chamberlain at their monthly meeting.  Wendy will give an update on her work over the last year and her thoughts on Scotland’s future relationship with Europe.\n\n\nSo far the topics for discussion are: \n\nErasmus+ (NI and Wales have got there\, why not Scotland?)\nEU and non EU Nationals workers’ visas – the difficulties faced in Fife without enough workers for agriculture\, care and hospitality sectors\nHorizon – continued delay is so damaging to UK research sector\nThe next Lib Dem Government will have to work with our closest neighbours to rebuild our economy and fight the climate crisis.

SUMMARY:Scotland wants to rejoin the EU: what's the best route?
DESCRIPTION:Scotland would rejoin the EU tomorrow if asked – but how? \nAs many as 60% of UK voters now back rejoining the EU as the daily evidence of the damage brought by Brexit mounts. Scotland would vote around 3-1 to rejoin. So\, what’s the best way forward for pro-Europeans in Scotland: rejoin as part of the UK or as an independent EU member state? There are plenty of arguments about the merits and disadvantages of both approaches. \nJoin us on August 8 at 1800 for a conversation on the issues involved between two leading pro-EU political figures in Scotland – Eddie Barnes and Stephen Gethins. Their online discussion\, bound to be riveting\, will set the tone for the start of a new political season and will be chaired by David Gow\, ex-Guardian journalist who leads the RSE’s Scotland-Europe Initiative. \nEddie Barnes is the campaign director of Our Scottish Future\, the group/think tank set up by Gordon Brown. He is a former political editor at the Scotsman and was a senior aide and speechwriter to Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson. He has also advised UK prime ministers on the reform of the UK state. \nStephen Gethins is Professor of Practice in International Relations at St Andrews University and an EMiS executive member. He is the former SNP MP for North-East Fife and spokesperson on Europe and International Affairs\, sitting on the Commons foreign affairs select committee. \nAttendance is free for anyone\, but please register to receive the link.

SUMMARY:Ukrainian refugees' future in the UK: Aspen Institute
DESCRIPTION:The UK’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw over 200\,000 visas being issued and more than 150\,000 Ukrainians arriving in the UK. Yet\, as we enter the second year of the humanitarian refugee schemes supporting Ukrainians\, and with no imminent end to the conflict in Ukraine\, the future of the Ukrainian refugees in Britain is increasingly uncertain. \nAspen UK\, in collaboration with Opora\, are hosting this timely discussion on the future of Ukrainian refugees as we approach the end of the three-year visa period. We will be bringing together policymakers\, community advocates\, and people with lived experience for a discussion about this complex problem. What options will be available to Ukrainians once their visas expire?  And\, how can Ukrainian refugees navigate and reconcile the uncertainties regarding their eventual return or long-term settlement? \n\nPanel to be announced soon! \nDoors open at 18:00 with the panel discussion starting at 18:30 and a reception from 20:30 onwards. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
