What future for Europe?\u2019 was held at the University of Warsaw.<\/strong> This French-Polish-German scientific meeting took place as part of the series &#8216;Academic looks: seminar Actualit\u00e9 critique&#8217;, organized by the Centre of French Culture and Francophone Studies of the University of Warsaw and the French Institute. The co-organizers of the event were: the Science Department of Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Polish Science Contact Agency in Brussels, the Societas Humboldtiana Polonorum, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Institute of European Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Warsaw in cooperation with the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Due\nto the current topic of the event (just two days after the elections to the\nEuropean Parliament) and prestigious partners, the conference met with great\ninterest. The audience consisted of students, young researchers and retired university\nemployees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program of the event included a panel debate moderated by <strong>Agnieszka \u0141ada,<\/strong> PhD, an analyst of the Institute of Public Affairs.

Institute for Rural Development and Agriculture of the Polish Academy of Science<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What\nwas characteristic for last campaign to the European Parliament? Experts\nstrongly pointed out intensified disinformation activities (underlined in the\nEC reports) or still unfinished negotiations regarding the exit of the United\nKingdom from the European Union (so-called Brexit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All\nspeakers agreed that the high electoral turnout (both the EU average and the\nindividual results for each of the Member States) distinguished this campaign\nfrom the previous ones. Attention was also paid to the success of\npro-ecological groups in Germany, which can be seen as a sign of a certain\nconsciousness change that has taken place in recent years. Topics of climate\nchange, clean air, renewable energy have entered the political mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Wilkin presented the main conclusions of <a href=\"https:\/\/instytucja.pan.pl\/images\/2017\/wydzialy\/w1\/grudzien\/Raport-PAN-UE-Wilkin.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (otwiera si\u0119 na nowej zak\u0142adce)\">Scientific Report of the Polish Academy of Sciences on European integration and the place of Poland in this process<\/a>.
