Europe after the EP 2024 elections

REGISTER NOW

By 9 June 2024, EU citizens will have voted for the European Parliament, shaping the future trajectory of the European Union. The results will not only influence the constellation of the next European Commission. They will also affect future EU policies such as democracy, climate, economy and social affairs.

In this context, we want to discuss:

• What are the main takeaways from the EP election results?
• What political groups will be formed, what majorities are possible, and what potential political alliances can be foreseen?
• And what does this mean for key issues such as the green transformation as well as the EU’s reform and enlargement agenda?

The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union office invites you to discuss these key questions at a webinar on 12 June 2024, with the valuable input from experts and policy-makers.
