Registration for this event is now closed.
Almost all member states and EU institutions have included "EU reform" within their lexicon, but its definition differs from one actor to another. This event will focus on the debates over integration emerging from talks of "EU reform".
Two streams of thinking stand out: the reality that further integration is not a priority; and second, the fact that some policies may be incomplete if they are not complemented with missing pillars, especially within the EMU.
Can we, or even should we, envisage other modes of integration, perhaps rooted in deeper integration of the Eurozone? If further integration is required within the EU, what needs to be done to make it acceptable to public opinions across Europe? Can we manage different levels of integration without leading to an unsustainable fragmentation of the Union?
Those questions have received far too little attention compared to their likely salience in European debates in the years ahead and more decisively to their importance for the future of the EU.

Other events
NATO: 75 Years of Strategic Solidarity
The war in Ukraine, burden-sharing between Allies, U.S. disengagement from Europe, new areas of conflict... At a time when the Alliance has just celebrated its 75th anniversary and the Stoltenberg era is drawing to a close after ten years at the head of the organization, NATO's agenda bears witness to the diversity of its areas of action, as well as to the different perceptions of the Allies on these issues.
Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
