The School of Public Policy at Central European University
cordially invites you to a Panel Discussion on
The Future of Europe after the European Elections
Welcome:
Martin Kahanec, Professor and Dean of the School of Public Policy, CEU
The Central European University has become a place for academic policy debates, in particular on Europe. The common economic and political development in Europe, in particular labor mobility, labor market reforms, evidence-based policy making and the role of scientists have been key elements of the public debate about the future of Europe. EU-pessimism has become stronger and stronger, and the EU elections will provide guidance about the potentials for a recovery of the European idea in the face of Brexit and a possible dismantling of European institutions. The panel will bring together experienced academic exponents combing research with policy for debate at this critical point of European history.
17:30 - 18:30 PANEL DISCUSSION
