Practical information
A luncheon debate with Laurence Nardon, Head of the United States research programme, Ifri
Freed of electoral constraints, the American President can devote himself to some importants issues: to which ones will he give priority? The reform of immigration, the energy issues, the infrastructures modernization, were quoted, as well as the penal justice reform, or recently, the firearms control.
Will foreign policy issues (Syria, Iran, China...) be priority subjects for the White House, knowing that the presidents usually deal with them mostly during the second part of their last mandate?
Chair: Dominique David, Executive Director, Ifri

Brussels, Germany, France and Italy Facing the Energy and Industrial Crises: Coordinated or Diverging Trajectories?
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.
