Workshop: "EU Crises and Emergencies: What’s in a name?" - 16-17 June 2025
The Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence on Crises and Emergencies in EU Integration (EmergEU) is organising an interdisciplinary workshop on the conceptualisation of crises and emergencies in the EU. The workshop will explore the evolving notions of ‘crisis’ and ‘emergency,’ highlighting potential disciplinary differences in terminology, interpretation, and practice. Contributions from political science and legal scholars will seek to examine what we can learn from these variegated approaches to jointly critically assess the EU’s capacity to respond to, and learn from, crises.
There will be a total of four panels during the workshop:
Panel 1 - How many shades of crisis and emergency? Towards a European definitional framework
Panel 2 - Crises and emergencies uniquely shaping the EU’s internal and external structures
Panel 3 - Multilevel crisis governance in the EU: emergency powers with(out) a sovereign?
Panel 4 - (Un)known unknowns: crises and emergencies from an epistemic perspective
The workshop will take place at the Faculty of Law from the 16 June 2025 at 13:00 to the 17 June 2025 at 13:30.
