“The Future of Europe: Integration or Alienation?”
In light of recent events, the topic of integration and disintegration has increasingly become more current. Starting with the refugee crisis, the Greek debt crisis, and continuing to one of the most debatable subjects, the Brexit, the question of European unity and future turned out to be highly contested. The Conference 2017 adressed therefore issues such as Euroscepticism, European strategies and policies but also provided us with a glance to future possibilities that lay ahead. “The Future of Europe: Integration or Alienation” was the topic for the Clio Conference 2017 on May 2nd and it is one that concerns us both as single individuals and as a European community as a whole. With a broad range on speakers from a diverse background of expertise, the Clio Conference 2017 presented a perfect opportunity to get insight on different viewpoints, to discuss with the speakers and fellow students about the challenges Europe is facing and to express opinions on the situation.
With a total of 180 participants, the Clio Conference 2017 was a great success. We would like to thank all our speakers for their fruitful input, all visitors for their coming and active participation, our sponsors and their funding that made this day possible, and the Hampshire Hotel - Plaza Groningen for providing us with an excellent location.
