As its seventh summit approaches, the EPC continues to defy definition – and prove its value, despite the doubters. Where next for this nascent pan-European forum?
You’re cordially invited to join us at the Brussels Institute for Geopolitics as we assess how the EPC has matured from a high-level gathering born of crisis to a living, breathing statement of geopolitical will in just three years – and explore its potential future place in Europe’s political and security architecture.
We’ll be presenting a new report authored by Luuk van Middelaar (founding Director of BIG) and Antoine Michon (former political assistant to the French Special Envoy for the EPC) which takes a behind-the-scenes look at the diverse roles the EPC has assumed so far, with unique insights direct from those at the heart the action.
Her Excellency Daniela Morari, Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union, and David Oppenheimer, Deputy Head of Cabinet to the President of the European Council, will be among the esteemed guests who’ll lead the discussion that follows, in which we’ll assess where the EPC goes next – and what that could mean for the other actors on the stage, most notably the EU.
