Practical information
A luncheon debate with Christophe BERTOSSI, Director, and Emma BROUGHTON, Research Fellow, Center for Migrations and Citizenship , Ifri.
The employment of immigrants has been a central issue of the French debates for many decades -as it is illustrated by the controversy about the status of foreign students and the "circulaire Guéant" of 2011. Strongly politicised, the immigration policies are seldom considered as workforce policies, dealing primarily with the firms requirements. What is therefore the impact over firms of the migration policies that do not take their needs sufficiently into account? And what role can the firms play in the definition of the goals of these policies, when the government is announcing its wish to adapr professional and student immigration to the needs of the French economy?

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.

The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
