Europe has recently been struck with a crisis that also exposes the democratic challenges facing the European Union. What are the prospects for democracy beyond the nation state in this time of crisis? This question will be discussed by scholars from across Europe and beyond when RECON presents highlights from five years of research at a public seminar in Oslo.
Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre will give the opening speech to the seminar. RECON’s 120 affiliated scholars have discussed the conditions for democracy in the EU through a series of studies across a large number of policy fields and institutional realms. This seminar will gather scholars and students, policy makers, professionals, organisations, media, civil society and the general public to exchange knowledge and engage in discussions. More on the RECON project.
The seminar is a part of the University of Oslo’s 200th anniversary celebration.
The conference is open, but registration is required. Attendance is limited to 200 and seats are awarded on a first come, first serve basis. There is no conference fee. The conference will be held in English.
RECON’s concluding conference ‘What is Left of European democracy?‘ will take place on 25-26 November. At this academic conference, more space is allocated for discerning what this collective research effort has generated and what the democratic implications of these will be.
