The goal of the event is to connect women from public service, politics, diplomacy, international organisations, media, academic and scientific institutions, and nongovernmental sectors, support their participation in decision-making about international affairs, and discuss current European and international topics. Additionally, our Research Fellow Vít Borčany, has written a research paper related to the topic described.

Round-table: What kind of Czech European politics do we want to establish and how to lead a social dialogue about it? (in Czech)

Jean-Claude Juncker will introduce an Annual Report about the state of the Union on September 13, in which he will propose a further course of the EU and he will follow up on the White Paper on the Future of Europe, which was introduced by the Commission in spring. Features of the future Czech European politics will be formulated by the government, which emerges from the elections in autumn. The times of reflection about a further deepening of the Eurozone lead Czechia again to a hesitant discussion about belonging to the core of European integration. Czech society is at the same time apathetic and rejecting towards the European Union. Is this state unchangeable?
