For the fifth year in a row, ten leading European Think Tanks will join forces to host the annual Brussels Think Tank Dialogue (BTTD). This will be a unique opportunity to hear leading voices debate pressing issues, forecast major trends for the coming year, and put forward recommendations for the new European leadership. More than ever, guidance is needed.
The BTTD 2015 will focus on such topical issues as:
- Revisiting Energy Security
- Towards a single European Labour Marker
- Tomorrow’s EU migration policy.
Experts from each think tank have produced background papers for each session, which are now available for download.
