A panel debate to mark the official launch of Eutopia (@EutopiaMag) - the pan-European online magazine in which incisive thinkers from Europe and beyond address searching questions about the very nature of Europe. What exactly is "Europe"? What should be the EU's final frontier? What's left ( if anything) of "The European Project"? And do Europeans need a new lexicon and a whole new mindset for thinking about their continent?

Timothy Garton Ash (@fromTGA) is Professor of European Studies at the University of Oxford, and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Renaud Dehousse holds a Jean Monnet Chair in European Union Law and Political Science at Sciences Po, Paris, where he directs the Centre d'études européennes.

Giuseppe Laterza (@giuslat) is Chairman of Laterza Publishing.

Jan Zielonka is Professor of European Politics at the University of Oxford and Ralf Dahrendorf Fellow at St Antony’s College.

Maurice Fraser is Head of the LSE European Institute’
