Solidarity and Austerity: The 2012 State of the European Union
Annual Brussels Think-Tank Dialogue
Venue: The Hotel, Boulevard Waterloo, 38, 1000 Brussels
The outlook is grim. EU governments are implementing austerity packages; populist and nationalist movements are growing; social discontent rages. Given these challenges, ten leading Brussels-based think tanks have joined forces to discuss the unavoidable issue of Solidarity and Austerity in the European Union at their third annual Brussels Think Tank Dialogue.
In five invitation-only workshops, the Think Tank Dialogue focuse on Energy and Natural Resources, Economic and Social Challenges, the EU Budget, Migration and Integration, and External Relations. These workshops served to deliver cutting-edge policy analysis and recommendations. The results were then put to an open plenary session for discussion.
