VII Bilbao European Encounters
Bilbao European Dialogues The Challenges of the Pandemic in the European Context In this seventh edition of the Bilbao European Encounters, Globernance aims to continue bringing the process of reflecting on the challenges that the European integration is currently facing, closer to the citizens. On this occasion, both the title, The Challenges of the Pandemic in the European Context and the hybrid format of online and in-person sessions, are adapted to the current situation. Each one of the three sessions will address a specific challenge associated with the Covid-19 crisis in the European geographical context. Not surprisingly, after the enormous initial shock that led to talk of an existential crisis for the European Union, the political decisions taken in recent months seem to confirm the Union’s capacity to grow by taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by the crisis. These three round table discussions will reflect on the effects and opportunities, as well as the challenges posed by the pandemic and the EU’s response to them. Advance registration is required to attend the three sessions in the Bastida Hall and the online sessions.
