European Strategic Autonomy |

Описание: On 1 July 2021, Portugal handed over the Presidency of the Council of the EU to Slovenia, which will hold its reigns for the second time since its accession to the EU in 2004.

During the next six months, the Slovenian Presidency will have to sail through troubled waters to address some of the most pressing EU issues, such as the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of the European Green Deal, the digital agenda and EU’s relations with its external partners.

To scrutinise the priorities and challenges of the Presidency, TEPSA and its Slovenian member institute, Centre of International Relations (CIR) – University of Ljubljana, hosted the Slovenian Pre-Presidency Conference on 17 and 18 June 2021

What practical applications of the concept of Strategic Autonomy should the EU try to achieve in the fields of trade policy, medical supplies, defence and digitalisation in the next decade?

In this panel , we try to answer these questions. We enjoyed interventions from Marc Vanheukelen (Ambassador at Large for Climate Diplomacy, European External Action Service), Jim Cloos (TEPSA Secretary-General), Dr. Nathalie Tocci (Director, Istituto Affari Internazionali), and Dr. Niklas Helwig (Leading Researcher, European Strategic Autonomy, Finnish Institute of International Affairs)
