Friday, 15 January 2016, 3-5 p.m.
Mevissensaal, TH Köln, Claudiusstrasse 1, 50678 Köln

The European Union is going through some of the biggest challenges in its history. The Euro crisis is still looming. The UK is heading towards a referendum on a potential exit from the EU. And nationalism abounds in many member countries.

• In the European vision of an “ever closer union” an idea of the past?
• Will nationalist movements endanger the European project?
• Will Europe be able to develop a more stable and coherent governance?

The Jean Monnet Chair at TH Köln invites you a public discussion on these and more issues with prominent international panelists:

• Prof. Dr. András Inotai, former President of the Institute for World Economics, Budapest
• Prof. Hans-Helmut Kotz, Center for European Studies, Harvard and SAFE Policy Center, Goethe U, former Board Member Bundesbank, in charge of Financial Stability and Markets.
• Prof. Dr. Alojzy Nowak, Pro-Rector of the University of Warsaw
• Willem Noë, EU Commission, Directorate General NEAR
• Moderator: Prof. Dr. Harald Sander, Jean Monnet Chair at TH Köln

The event will be followed by a reception allowing for further informal discussions.
