Competition vs. Cooperation in Times of Crisis: Recording available

On 16 May 2022, the UCL European Institute joined the French Embassy and the British Council for a hybrid dialogue on the future of European academic collaboration. 

The discussion covered the implications of the return of war to Europe and a more politicised approach to research cooperation for European universities, as well as how we can preserve and maintain academic collaborations in times of uncertainty.
