Together with the university of York, PCE is organising a workshop on Europe and the future of global rules and multilateralism on 16-17 September. Programme and registration details can be found below.
On Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 September, we are organising a workshop on “Europe and the future of global rules and multilateralism” together with colleagues from the University of York (as part of the UM-York agreement). This workshop is also part of our efforts in PCE to establish a new cluster on Europe and the crisis of the rules-based global order.
If you want to participate in this workshop, please register online (speakers/participants listed on the programme, please also register online including for the dinner).
You will find the programme below. While there are formal research presentations, the emphasis is also very much on meet/greet and networking with the colleagues of York and amongst ourselves.
