A few months before the electoral campaign for the EU Parliament is launched, and at a time when negotiations on the next multi-annual financial framework should soon come to a close, providing the EU-27 with a seven-year budget, it is time to step up the momentum for enriching a clear and strong vision of the future and a real EU project for the coming decade.
How does the EU stand in terms of reasserting its common values or “collective preferences”, both internally and externally? How do we prioritise social, economic and environmental objectives? Which governance process to foster these preferences, both in Europe and in international negotiations? What common future are EU Member States leaning towards and how can we ensure that such a plan for the future is ambitious and bold enough so that it lives up to the challenges of our time, in the context of the Agenda 2030 adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015?
The conference will be organized in two parts :
The first session will reflect on the state of the EU’s landmark collective preferences and the way it can save its democratic and social contract (panel 1, 5:00-6:30pm).
The second session will address the EU’s capacity to build on these preferences in a global context and to help rethink globalization (panel 2, 6:30-8:00pm).
The conference will be held in English with simultaneous translation to French.
