Differentiated Integration and the Future of Europe | #PPCLjubljana

On 1 July 2021, Portugal handed over the Presidency of the Council of the EU to Slovenia, which will hold its reigns for the second time since its accession to the EU in 2004.

During the next six months, the Slovenian Presidency will have to sail through troubled waters to address some of the most pressing EU issues, such as the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of the European Green Deal, the digital agenda and EU’s relations with its external partners.

To scrutinise the priorities and challenges of the Presidency, TEPSA and its Slovenian member institute, Centre of International Relations (CIR) – University of Ljubljana, hosted the Slovenian Pre-Presidency Conference on 17 and 18 June 2021

In this session, organised with support from the #InDivEU project, we enjoy a discussion moderated by Prof. Dr. Michael Kaeding (Jean Monnet Professor ad personam, University of Duisburg Essen), Dr. Sandra Kröger (Member of the InDivEU project and Senior Lecturer, University of Exeter), Dr. Matteo Bonomi (Assistant Project Coordinator of the EU IDEA project and Research Fellow, Istituto Affari Internazionali), and Dr. Magdalena Góra (Member of the EU3D project and Project Researcher, Institute of European Studies of the Jagiellonian University)

We also enjoyed a keynote speech from Dubravka Šuica (Vice-President of the European Commission, Democracy and Demography)
