ANNUAL EUROPE CONFERENCE 2021
This year's conference focused on Europe's future with Corona, Biden and Brexit. It has been a ground shifting year in European cooperation, and the challenges are staggering. What will be the EU's role in the vaccine race? How will the corona crisis affect the EU's single market and the rebulding of European economies? And what role should the EU take on globally? These were some of the questions that were touched upon at the conference.
The conference can be viewed here.
