EU Days Lund A resilient Europe

During the yearly forum EU Days Lund, SIEPS and Centre for European Studies at Lund University organised a seminar with the title "A resilient Europe", with the participation of Cecilia Malmström, Former EU Commissioner, Rikard Bengtsson, Senior lecturer in Political Science at Lund University, and Lars Danielsson, Former Permanent Representative of Sweden to the EU. Watch a recording here.

And there has been strong consensus among Western countries along with a notable increase in ambition for the EU as a security policy actor.

However, the challenges are significant. How should the EU, its Member States and partners best equip themselves to be resilient in a time of great uncertainty?
