ENGAGE Webinar on Europe Day : Europe at the Crossroads: Shaping the Continent’s Future in an Era of Global Disruption

on the May 8, 2025

14h-15h

Europe at the Crossroads: Shaping the Continent’s Future in an Era of Global Disruption. How can Europe navigate its geopolitical challenges and emerge stronger? Join leading experts in a critical discussion on the continent’s strategic path forward.

Amid growing international instability and global power shifts, Europe stands at a pivotal moment. With the ongoing war in Ukraine, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and shifting transatlantic relations under the new U.S. administration, the continent faces complex challenges unlike any in recent decades. These geopolitical developments are not only disrupting global trade and energy markets but are also testing the cohesion and strategic orientation of the European Union.

"Europe at the Crossroads? Reflections on Future Perspectives" is a timely event that brings together three distinguished experts to examine the multifaceted implications of today’s geopolitical landscape. From political resilience to legal frameworks and sustainable innovation, the conversation will explore what these changes mean for Europe's future—and how the EU can not only respond, but lead.

The panel will delve into how Europe can redefine its strategic role, forge new alliances, and strengthen its internal unity in response to these pressures. Importantly, the discussion will also highlight emerging opportunities in trade, energy, and diplomacy that Europe must seize to remain a global actor.

Held in honor of Europe Day, the event is open to all interested participants. It will be moderated by Sabine Sainte-Rose, Secretary General of ENGAGE.EU, ensuring a dynamic and inclusive exchange of ideas.
