A resilient Europe
Time: 11.30-12.15, Concert Hall
In an era of rising geopolitical tensions, Europe’s decision-making ability and cohesion are being tested. The EU's response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been characterized by unity as well as rapid decision-making. And there has been strong consensus among Western countries along with a notable increase in ambition for the EU as a security policy actor.
However, the challenges are significant. How should the EU, its Member States and partners best equip themselves to be resilient in a time of great uncertainty?
