What impact will the election of President Trump have on EU-UK relations? What opportunities are there for a ‘reset’ in EU-UK relations and on what factors does this depend? HE Pedro Serrano, EU Ambassador to the UK and member of the European Institute Advisory Board, will join students from UCL and beyond for brief remarks on the EU in a changing world, followed by a student-moderated Q&A. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the Ambassador and ask their own questions.

Following the event, all attendees are invited to join us for networking and a drinks reception.

This event and the reception is free and open to everyone.
