Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the current geopo­litical changes have led to a new EU enlargement dynamics. The process of EU enlargement is caught between geopol­itics, reform require­ments and absorption capacity. At the beginning of the new insti­tu­tional cycle at EU level, which began with the European elections in June, the focus is on the question of the future direction and concrete imple­men­tation of EU enlargement policy.

The Center for Liberal Modernity (LibMod) in cooper­ation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation (KAS) cordially invites you to join the discussion on the 13 November at the inter­na­tional conference “EU Enlargement in the Context of Geopol­itics, Reform Require­ments and Absorption Capacity”.

The following topics and questions will be discussed:

  • What are the current challenges of EU enlargement policy and what is at stake?
  • The perspec­tives of the repre­sen­ta­tives of the EU candidate countries on the imple­men­tation of reforms and gradual EU integration.
  • What is the EU’s strategy for the future shape of its enlargement policy and for its absorption capacity?

We would like to discuss this with repre­sen­ta­tives of the German Bundestag, the Federal Foreign Office, the European Commission and experts from the candidate countries, as well as with you.

The program for the event can be found at the link below. The conference will be held in a hybrid format and also streamed as a Zoom webinar, allowing partic­i­pants to follow the discus­sions online.

The event will be simul­ta­ne­ously trans­lated into German and English. After regis­tering, you will receive a confir­mation of your invitation along with the Zoom access link in good time before the event.

We would be very pleased about your participation!
