Cycle GEG Weekly - Innovative Perspectives on European Affairs

A few months ahead of the 2024 European elections, the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics is delighted to launch a new series of weekly roundtables in partnership with the Groupe d'études géopolitiques (GEG), "GEG Weekly: Innovative Perspectives on European Affairs".

The European Union is at a turning point. The war in Ukraine, climate change, and the future of the EU's enlargement raise the question of its place in the world and of its integration process. This new series of weekly talks aims to offer high-level, transnational, in-depth discussions to address these questions by bringing together high-level scholars, policy experts and highly motivated students.

These talks consist of 1-hour weekly roundtables in English uniting the best of academia, decision makers and European stakeholders in order to better integrate the work of academics and operational approaches.

They are organised by the Groupe d’Études Géopolitiques in partnership with Sciences Po’s Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics and in collaboration with the College of Europe, European Institute at Columbia University, European Centre at the University of Cambridge, European University Institute in Florence, Université Libre de Bruxelles.

They usually take place on Thursdays, 5:30-6:30 PM Paris time on Zoom, and occasionally in a hybrid format in Sciences Po, Paris.

Scientific coordination: Pierre Charbonnier
