GAxSIB Presents: Independent Europe
- 📅 Date: Thursday, 5 June
- ⏰ Time: 19:00-21:30 (walk in begins at 18:30)
- 📍 Location: Marinus Ruppert, Room 0.33 (Leuvenlaan 21, 3584 CE Utrecht)
✨ On June 5, GA and SIB will host a very special collaboration on the future of Europe and European policymaking amidst changes in global alliance structures.
As recent global events have disrupted traditional alliance systems, there is a renewed focus in Europe on strategic autonomy. With growing cracks in the transatlantic alliance, the key question remains: how will European policies be affected with the diminishing influence of the United States.
GA and SIB would like to invite you to “Independent Europe,” a joint event where we will focus specifically on External Relations and Security, inviting experts to discuss how recent developments are likely to shape European strategies in these areas.
The event’s mission is to discuss the future of European policies and strategies, as we head for uncharted territories. Thanks to our experts, we hope to make sense of what lies ahead for this continent.
