Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has generated new fissures among EU member states while deepening other, more long-standing differences. Is Europe capable of moblising the resources it needs to shape the future? What visions for the EU moving forward exist? What lessons need to be learned from past mistakes? What reforms need to be enacted?
To address these fundamental questions, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins University’s SAIS (Washington, DC) and the Hertie School's Centre for International Security (Berlin) are held a panel discussion chaired by Helmut Schmidt Distinguished Visiting Professor Marina Henke on May 31, 2024.
The speakers included:
- Dr. Benedetta Berti, Head of Policy Planning in the Office of the Secretary General at NATO.
- Sylvie Goulard, President of the Deutsch Französisches Institut (Ludwigburg, Germany) and Vice President of the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University (Milano, Italy).
- Charles Landow, Senior Research Associate and Manager at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School.
- Dr. Thu Nguyen, Deputy Director of the Jacques Delors Centre at the Hertie School.
- Dr. Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali, part-time professor at the School of Transnational Governance (European University Institute), Honorary Professor at the University of Tübingen and independent non-executive director of Acea.
