Between narratives and reality: The EU at the gates of a new mandate - Call for Papers

The Faculty of Law of Maastricht University and Studio Europa are organising an academic conference in the context of the incoming new term of the European Parliament and European Commission. The conference will explore how the ‘big narratives’ of the EU (its values, agenda, ambitions) relate to what the EU actually does: its legislation, actions, and ‘impact on the ground’. The goal is to reflect on the challenges of the next political mandate, from 2024 onwards.

We invite you to submit an abstract of a paper (up to 500 words) and a brief author bio by the deadline of 29 February 2024. More information about the conference as well as a detailed call for abstracts can be found here.
