On Friday 8 December 2017, 10.15-13.00, CERiM will hold a roundtable debate on the topic: ‘Debating the EU’s Future: Do we need institutional reforms? Will we get them?’ The debate will be chaired by Thomas Christiansen and gather various EU experts and academics. Please register in advance. Location: C-1.03 (Colloquium room 1), Tongersestraat 53, Maastricht.
The future of the EU is uncertain. Given numerous developments such as the refugee crisis and Brexit, all in the past decade, these developments have challenged the EU’s capacity and ability to deal with them and have left Europeans and the world in doubt and anxious about the next steps. Join us for a thought-provoking debate on how the EU can move forward in these times of crises.
The event is organised following the end of the Europe Calling initiative celebrating 25 years of the Maastricht Treaty.
The roundtable is chaired by Thomas Christiansen and the speakers are:
• Deirdre Curtin, Professor of EU Law, European University Institute
• Michelle Everson, Professor of EU Law, Birkbeck College, University of London
• Graham Smith, Member of Cabinet of the European Ombudsman
• Wolfgang Wessels, Director of the Centre for Turkey and European Union Studies (CETEUS), University of Cologne
Registration is based upon a first-come, first-served basis.
