This is a time of threats and challenges for democracy across Europe – both within the EU and in other European countries, including the UK. This conference, organised by the European Movement in Scotland brings together leading experts from Scotland and across Europe to look at the current crisis of European democracy, and what should be the response to that crisis.

The extent of the far-right threat to democracy in Europe, and how the EU should respond to that threat

The prospects for reform and revitalisation of the European project
What individuals, citizens’ movements, and political leaders can do in the face of these challenges
