Does the Lisbon Treaty raise more problems than it solves?
Daubeny Room, Magdalene College
11.00 – 12.30
Tuesday, 25th May

Does the long-heralded Lisbon Treaty pose fresh questions rather than solve older problems? Which way is Europe going? Is the European political class up to the job of embedding a new European citizenry? Is our triumvirate up to the job? What is the role for national leaders and presidents? Who leads Europe forward in this new Global era? Is Europe prepared for challenges from the East? Where is the Europe of our dreams?

Leiden University hosted our sixth event in Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations Project. The Europaeum organised a Graduate Research Workshop on Migration, Political Parties & Public Rhetoric in Contemporary Europe on June 3rd - 5th 2010. This event brought together young scholars from Europaeum universities to explore contemporary European themes. This two-day program investigated relations between Migration and Political Parties in Europe today: the effects of migration and migratory laws and the impact these have on politics and political parties and how political parties respond to migration and migrants. Thus, migration affects the discourse, activities and policy positioning of political parties, as well as patterns of competition and co-operation between political parties.  Simultaneously, government policy, political discourse and public opinion, affect processes and rates of migration, as well as relations between migrants and host communities.

The Europeanisation of Central and Eastern Europe: how has it gone?
Institute of European Studies, Jagiellonian University
16th-18th October 2009

Regime changes in Central and Eastern Europe in 1989 constituted a springboard for elaborate, costly, and difficult processes of democratization, which ran in parallel with processes of Europeanisation, understood as the domestic impact of the EU. This impact is most comprehensive and conspicuous in the case of the post-communist countries, where systemic transformation was accompanied by the process of ‘adjustments’ that led to EU membership. The adjustment requirements were legal, economic, and societal, including adaptation to so-called EU values and norms. The processes, of course, are far from complete.

This Europaeum Graduate Workshop at the University of Bologna, has had to be  rescheduled due to various factors and is now due to take place in Spring 2010 in Bologna, following discussion with the academic directors. The new workshop will investigate the role of sacred ‘spaces’ in what are
