The European Union stands at a critical juncture. From challenges to the rule of law and contested core values, to the demands of the green transition and global geopolitical threats, the Union must find ways to act with resilience, unity, and credibility.

As Denmark concludes its presidency of the Council of the European Union and prepares to hand over to Cyprus, this high-level conference will gather scholars, policymakers, civil society, and business leaders to reflect on Europe’s legal, political, and ethical responsibilities in times of change. The conference addresses the Rule of Law under Pressure; European Values in a Shifting Union; Steering the Green Transition; and Responding to Global Threats

The conference aims to assess the Danish EU Presidency’s contributions, foster cross-sector dialogue, anticipate priorities for the upcoming Cypriot Presidency, and strengthen networks dedicated to European cooperation and resilience.

Speakers and discussants include inter alia the Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, The Council of the European Union, The Confederation of Danish Industry, The Danish Chamber of Commerce, The Cyprus branch of the Fédération Internationale de Droit Européen; Greenpeace, the Danish Energy Agency, Centre for the Rule of Law and European Values, and several researchers from European countries.
