[Roundtable with GEG] The reconstruction of Ukraine

Zelensky government's clear commitment to joining the European Union, endorsed by the European heads of state and government at the June 2022 Council meeting, places the question of the country's reconstruction and the region's development at the heart of any consideration of the post-war order and of the future of European construction. How can we guarantee the vast financial requirements are met? How should the reconstruction be planned to secure both Ukraine's long-term sustainability and resilience?

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.
