Final conference of the ValEUs research project
From 29 September to 2 October, the final conference of the “ValEUs” research project took place at Viadrina University. International scholars, civil society representatives and policymakers discussed European values, democracy and the future of EU foreign policy.
Since early 2024, representatives from 20 partner institutions across five continents have been researching fundamental European values and the ways in which they are being challenged. Many of them accepted the invitation from European University Viadrina and contributed with their research and discussions to the successful conclusion of the conference and the research project.
The conference opened with Hans Kundnani’s keynote address, “What Values Are European?”, followed by a response from Angela Bourne. Over the following days, academic panels explored normative erosion within the EU, vulnerabilities, changes in the international order, and the role of values in EU foreign and accession policy.
