Location: Rue du Trône 14-16, 1000 BrusselsEPC Conference Centre3rd Floor. Venue: European Policy Centre-EPC

The COVID-19 pandemic that broke out four years ago, followed by the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, acutely raised the question of how the European Union can deal with emergencies. More generally the state of global permacrisis and the climate, digital or demographic transition are testing the EU’s resilience capacities.

The in-person Policy Dialogue will bring together experts to discuss the lessons learned from recent crisis and examine the ways to improve the EU’s resilience, and how this can be done in the new EU institutional cycle. It will be held as part of the REGROUP (Rebuilding governance and resilience out of the pandemic) Horizon Europe project.

REGROUP is conducted by a consortium of 13 universities and think tanks under the scientific lead of the University of Groningen. The aim of this three-year project is to analyse the societal and political consequences of COVID-19 and present coherent and actionable policy recommendations for the reform of the post-pandemic EU.

Participation is open to EPC members only, the media, EU officials, and the invitees of the REGROUP partners

European Politics and Institutions

The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
