Riskantes Geschäft: Europas wirtschaftliche (Un-)Sicherheit
English 180
The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have shown Europe’s dependencies in critical areas. Since then, there has been a lot of talk about “de-risking”: mitigating risks and limiting strategic dependencies. However, it’s still not clear what this would mean for Europe. How much de-risking is necessary to safeguard Europe’s economic security and when does de-risking itself become a risk to the economy?  //INFO: Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place on the upper floor of the elementary school.

Beziehungsstatus zwischen der EU und China: Es ist kompliziert
English 60
In its 2019 strategic outlook on EU-China relations, the European Commission described China as a partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a systemic rival. Since then, China has become more repressive at home and more assertive abroad. Should the new Commission adapt its strategy? Listen to three different perspectives on EU-China relations and challenge the speakers with your questions.

Europäische Verteidigung: Mehr, besser und europäisch investieren
English 60
In the ongoing war of attrition, Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s attacks depends on Western military assistance. However, US support is stalling and could be further reduced after the elections. This gap has to be filled by European countries which also have to replenish their own arsenals. How can Europe make better use of the potential of its defence industry and deliver what is needed?
