The European Conference of 2019 is the seventh edition of a major North American annual event dedicated to Europe and transatlantic relations. It is convened by students from Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Business School, Harvard College and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Over the past years, the Conference has attracted hundreds of students and brought together a thrilling and unique combination of policy, academic and business leaders from both sides of the Atlantic to explore what, going forward, the “European way” might be, and discuss its challenges, opportunities, and implications.
For now more than a decade, Europe has faced a plurality of crises, including a severe economic and financial crisis, the blurring of traditional political lines, negotiating effective migration policy responses, addressing challenges to EU membership and navigating its relationship with a U.S. administration that questions the value of the transatlantic partnership.
While there are many reasons to be positive about the changes happening now on the continent, upcoming European elections are expected to showcase growing populism across the continent, and Britain's departure from the European Union will only be weeks away by the time the Conference is held.
In recognition of these challenges, this year’s Conference will feature various panels, workshops and negotiations to present a broad spectrum of opinions, engage in constructive discourse and explore the realms of policy, business and society.
