In recent decades, the European Council, founded in 1974, has developed into one of the central decision-making bodies in the European Union. The heads of state and government represented there determine the strategic direction of the Union and make groundbreaking political decisions, for example on the enlargement and deepening of the EU. However, the Council also played a prominent role in the Union's crisis management during the euro crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The academic and practical interest in this central EU institution is correspondingly high. However, the work of the Council usually takes place behind closed doors. As part of the IEP Lunch Debate, Dr Uwe Corsepius will provide fascinating insights into the internal processes and current challenges of the European Council in a keynote speech.
The discussion will be held in German.
