Event Summary
Europe is grappling with a new era of challenges, from building its own defense to pursuing tech independence. It's a good time to ask: What now, Europe?
Introducing a new virtual series and podcast with Nicolas Véron exploring Europe's future in a changing world.
Ukraine is on a path towards membership in the European Union—subject of course to the outcome of the ongoing brutal war of aggression by Russia. In this inaugural session of PIIE’s new Europe-focused live podcast series, we will discuss the challenges and trade-offs both for Ukraine and for the European Union, with a leading government adviser and civil society advocate who was Ukraine’s deputy infrastructure minister between July 2022 and October 2024.
