Practical information
The outlook is grim. EU governments are implementing austerity packages; populist and nationalist movements are growing; social discontent rages. Given these challenges, ten leading Brussels-based think tanks have joined forces to discuss the unavoidable issue of Solidarity and Austerity in the European Union at their third annual Brussels Think Tank Dialogue.
In five invitation-only workshops, the Think Tank Dialogue will focus on Energy and Natural Resources, Economic and Social Challenges, the EU Budget, Migration and Integration, and External Relations. These workshops serve to deliver cutting-edge policy analysis and recommendations. The results will then be put to an open plenary session for discussion.
We will have the pleasure to welcome Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament, Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen Permanent Representative of Denmark to the European Union, Andreas Mavroyiannis, Deputy Minister for European Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus and Arif Havas Oegroseno, Ambassador of Indonesia to Belgium, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and to the European Union among others.

Amidst soaring defense spending, higher borrowing costs, erosion of energy intensive industries, renewed energy price hikes and possibly physical shortages, the European Union and its Member States are again struggling to stabilize the European economies. Governments are tempted by uncoordinated, short-term moves while in Brussels, there is a struggle between the “more of the same” and the “scrap it largely” approaches to the transition.
Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
