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!
