Plenary Roundtable

The EU and the pandemic: analytical perspectives and research agendas

Thursday 10 June, 17:15 CEST (16:15 BST)

Speakers

Sergio Fabbrini Luiss University

Markus Jachtenfuchs Hertie School of Governance

Brigid Laffan European University Institute

Kalypso Nicolaidis European University Institute

About the roundtable

In this roundtable, four leading scholars of the European Union engage in a reflexive and prospective dialogue on EU policy developments since the start of the pandemic. We ask them whether the handling of the pandemic challenges existing scholarly understandings of the EU, the heuristics of their own work and could thus influence the research agendas of EU studies.
