Come and join our high-level speakers in discussions on the role of the EU Budget for a geopolitical Europe and how it can contribute to building the EU's strategic autonomy in an uncertain world. The unprovoked and unjustified Russian invasion of Ukraine shook the European security architecture to its foundations and prompted an urgent reassessment of Europe's geopolitical role. It also revealed weaknesses resulting from the EU's energy dependence. Addressing these challenges requires a robust financial response and a forward looking vision at global and European level.

High-level speakers - European and global policymakers, researchers, representatives of think tanks, the civil society and businesses leaders - will debate on a broad number of topical questions in a lively, open and inclusive discussion to which the wider audience will be invited to contribute.

Registration will open in September. Stay tuned and visit our webpage to discover our draft programme.
