HELA Spring Conference 2019: Disruption, Innovation and the Future of Europe

Date: 

Saturday, March 2, 2019, 9:00am to 6:00pm

Location: 

Wasserstein Hall, Milstein Conference Center, Harvard Law School.

The Harvard European Law Association would like to invite you to its annual Spring Conference. The spring of 2019 will be a pivotal moment in EU history with Brexit becoming a reality in March 2019. Furthermore, European elections take place in May 2019, which makes the Conference an opportune moment to reflect on the successes and failures of the EU institutions over the past five years. The Conference will focus on the digitalization of the economy and whether the goals for the Digital Single Market set by the Juncker Commission have been reached.

The Conference will explore certain challenges posed within this broader framework and will analyze the impact of these developments on EU-US relations through four panel discussions on (1) Brexit, (2) Banking & Finance, (3) Antitrust and (4) the Digital Economy.
