Europe in a changing world

Hosted by the European Institute
In-person public event (venue tbc to ticket holders)

In a rapidly evolving global landscape marked by geopolitical uncertainty and economic fragmentation, Europe faces fundamental choices about its future role in the world. How can we uphold Europe’s values while strengthening its strategic resilience and competitiveness?

Drawing on Luxembourg’s perspective as a small but deeply interconnected European country, Deputy Prime Minister Bettel will reflect on the importance of unity, adaptability and renewed partnerships in navigating today’s global challenges.
