Event Report - 30 in 2030?

Launching EU Accession Negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova

In June 2024, the first intergovernmental conferences with EU candidates Ukraine and Moldova were held in Luxemburg. Even though those conferences are seen as a milestone for the enlargement process, it remains to be seen whether 2030 is realistic for both countries given the immense reforms the countries need to implement.

Event Report: The Future of the Single Market

Putting European Competitiveness back on the Agenda

European decision makers have been struggling with the question on how to boost European competitiveness. In April 2024 Enrico Letta, former Italian prime minster, published a high-level report that underlined the urgent need to deepen the European single market and to adapt to evolving technological and global economic trends. In a joint event of the Konrad-Adenauer Stiftung and the German Economic Institute (IW) we discussed these and other questions.

Promoting youth priorities from Western Balkans and Eastern Partnership

Last week, we had the opportunity to welcome members of EDYN in Strasbourg. Here, members had the opportunity to meet with senior officials from the European Parliament and representatives of the European People's Party to discuss the challenges facing young people in the Eastern Partnership countries, the enlargement of the EU to include the Western Balkans, the role of youth participation in EU and non-EU policies, and the need for stronger youth representation in EU policymaking and decision-making. Supporting young and aspiring politically interested people is one of the main goals of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. We are very happy to have worked with a well-organized and ambitious organization and its members. We would like to thank Rainer Wieland, Lidia Pereira, Michael Gahler and Karlo Ressler and Andrius Kubilius for having us.

60 Years Élysée-Treaty

Perspectives and Challenges of the Franco-German Partnership

"More ambitions - less contentment", this was the demand of the chairman of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and former president of the German Bundestag, Prof. Dr. Norbert Lammert, during the event "60 Years Élysée-Treaty - Perspectives and Challenges of the Franco-German Partnership", organized by the European Office of the KAS on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty. The aim was to evaluate ways to strengthen the strained relations between Germany and France and to intensify their alliance, which underpins the unity of the EU.

Europa und die Zukunft der liberalen Weltordnung

Nationale, europäische und globale Perspektiven

Der NATO Gipfel in Brüssel - Geeint in ein neues Zeitalter?

Selbstvergewisserung und Neuausrichtung der transatlantischen Allianz nach schwierigen Jahren.

Die Welt ist in einem ständigen Wandel unterzogen. Die North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) als kollektives, zwischenstaatliches Verteidigungsbündnis musste im Laufe ihres 72-jährigen Bestehens auf das sich ständig ändernde geopolitische und sicherheitspolitische Umfeld reagieren. Der NATO-Gipfel in Brüssel bot die Gelegenheit, im Angesicht einer immer komplexer werdenden Weltordnung, ein neues Kapitel aufzuschlagen.

Die Konferenz zur Zukunft Europas – Start eines bürgerzentrierten Dialogprozesses

„Wir alle haben unsere Träume, wenn wir an die Zukunft Europas denken“ (Dr. Ursula von der Leyen)

So vielfältig Europa ist, so unterschiedlich sind auch die Träume und Erwartungen der EU-Bürgerinnen und Bürger an die Zukunft Europas. Neben dem Europatag werden in diesem Jahr am 9. Mai auch die Feierlichkeiten zum Beginn der Konferenz zur Zukunft Europas begangen. Nach einer langen Planungsphase startet damit offiziell der europaweite Bürgerdialog mit dem übergeordneten Ziel, EU-Bürgerinnen und Bürger stärker in die Entscheidungs- und Gestaltungsprozesse der Europäischen Union miteinzubeziehen. Doch ist die Europäische Union überhaupt bereit neue Wege zu gehen und an welchen Stellschrauben muss vielleicht gedreht werden, um das europäische Projekt voranzutreiben?
