What kind of future for the European neighbourhood policy (ENP)? The view from the EU and the neighbouring countries
Practical information
The ENP review launched in July 2010 is almost complete. This work was accomplished in a very difficult time, with the launch of the EEAS and the crises in the neighbourhood (the revolution in Tunisia, Egypt and the civil war in Libya, the clampdowns in Belarus) to which the EU is not always prepared to respond in an appropriate way.
Undoubtedly, the above processes and events trigger extensive reflections over the ENP: What has been achieved under this policy so far? What are the chances for the implementation of its main goals in the future? What should the EU"s relations with its neighbours be like over the next 10-15 years?
What role could the EEAS play in the neighbourhood policy? With this conference, we will try to answer these questions both from the perspective of the EU and of the partner states.
Sessions :
- I. Stabilisation or Democratisation - What are the EU's interests in the Neighbourhood?
- II. Migration: challenge and opportunities - How to build a smart migration framework?
- III. Reaching beyond cooperation: Is there a chance for economic integration?
- IV. What kind of future for the ENP?

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.
