FLORENCE, ITALY – Watch the live streaming of The State of the Union conference. It is an annual event for reflection on the European Union, organized by the European University Institute, and takes place in Florence. The 2017 event is scheduled on May 4th and May 5th.
Over seven years, The State of the Union has become a key reference point for EU policy-makers, civil society representatives, business and opinion leaders, and academics. Previous speakers include Presidents, Prime Ministers, and the heads of the European Institutions.
The State of the Union is a unique forum where a diverse group of key actors can gather to debate and reflect, together, on Europe’s most pressing issues.
In times of crisis or instability, such a nuanced understanding of the EU’s successes, failures and challenges is crucial.
