RELAY Kick-off conference: ‘Europa’, what are the main challenges you are facing and how will you tackle them?

04.12.2020   9:30 - 16:30

This conference kicked-off the events series within the RELAY project. It brought together academics and a wide array of stakeholders in an extensive range of domains, allowing for differentiated perspectives on all of the European Commission’s political priorities, from digitalization, through the European Green Deal, to the EU as a global player.

These challenges became the ever more pertinent against the backdrop of the Covid-19 Pandemic that “constitutes an unprecedented challenge with very severe socio-economic consequences” (European Council 2020).

The RELAY kick-off conference set the scene of the subsequent thematic workshop series, during which the different political priorities will be examined and discussed in more detail.
