Jean Monnet Lecture by EmergEU

-

On 5 October, our speaker is H.E. Vassilis Maragos (Ambassador of the European Union to Armenia), with an online lecture about "The EU and Armenia, Partnership, Security and the Future of the South Caucasus".

This is a guest lecture organised by the Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence on Crises and Emergencies in EU Integration (EmergEU). EmergEU is embedded within the existing interdisciplinary Centre for European Research in Maastricht (CERiM).
In the upcoming three years (2024-2027), EmergEU will explore crises and emergencies in EU integration from an interdisciplinary perspective. The Centre seeks to illuminate the evolving discourse surrounding the multifaceted challenges related to the responses to crises and emergencies that have threatened the EU’s foundations. Recent examples include issues related to the rule of law, the COVID-19 pandemic, energy security, environmental crises, and the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine. Addressing such challenges demands responses that may reshape the EU’s institutional structures and policymaking processes.
In its first year (2024-2025), the Centre will address the conceptualisation of crises and emergencies in the EU context from a multidisciplinary (law and political science) and multilevel (supranational and national) perspective.

This lecture will be an online lecture.

We cordially invite you to the upcoming online lecture on 5 October with H.E. Vassilis Maragos, Ambassador of the European Union to Armenia.
