This event included a discussion between experts involved in the project and Polish citizens about the impact European integration had on Poland and what citizens' expectations are for the future. In total 26 participants from seven EU countries (Belgium, Greece, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Slovenia) were involved. The following day, the experts reflected on the main topics discussed with the Polish participants and presented the preliminary findings of their research on their national perspective on the EU.

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
