The most renowned speakers on Europe in transition

What still holds Europe together today?

A shared history? The euro? The single market? Or is it the values of democracy, peace and cultural diversity that unite the continent internally and make it strong externally?

Europe was once the centre of world history – the birthplace of the Enlightenment, human rights, science and industry. But in the 21st century, the continent faces new challenges: climate crisis, migration, demographic change, right-wing populism, geopolitical uncertainties – and the difficult question of how to maintain unity in the face of growing diversity.

Our speakers do not look back nostalgically, but rather with a clear view to the future. They analyse Europe’s role in the global structure – as a community of values, an economic power and a political actor – and offer impetus for business, politics, education and society.

These speakers talk about Europe’s opportunities, conflicts and questions about the future:

Europe needs direction – and strong voices

Europe is more than just an economic area – it is an idea. But this idea needs to be strengthened, explained and communicated in a new way. Our speakers do just that: with knowledge, passion and often uncomfortable truths. They stimulate debate, thought and action.
