4 March 2024
The European Institute convened several events in February, featuring a variety of experts from academia and policy who conferred on a range of European matters.
The Future of the UK-EU Relationship
The European Institute and the Independent Commission on UK-EU Relations co-convened a one day conference on the future of the UK-EU relationship, with speakers drawn from across academia, industry and civil society. Experts offered insights on topics spanning migration, defense, health and more.
Roundtable on Ukraine's European Future
The European Institute co-convened an event alongside the Centre for European Reform (CER) on the prospects and possibilities of Ukraine’s European future. The discussion was the first event in our newly launched work-stream on European security, part of our Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence grant 2023-26.
The conversation centred around opportunities and obstacles to accession, the role of the conflict with Russia, potential reforms to the EU accession process and more.
French but not Q(White) Mame-Fatou Niang
In this fourth event in the [Black Europe] Speaker Series, Prof. Mame-Fatou Niang (Carnegie Mellon University) explored 'Frenchness' in the 21st Century.
More specifically, the talk considered what the refusal to “see” race has meant for France’s engagement with African countries and African citizens. By confronting the silences around race, racism and colonial memory, the lecture proposed keys to mend the Republic's broken promise of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.
