Europe - and the EU - are currently challenged at all levels - in terms of foreign policy, domestic policy, geopolitics, ecology, economy and security policy. "Rebooting Europe", this year's theme, addresses exactly what is needed at the moment: Reflexion, intellectual expansion, exchange, inspiration and innovation. The aim of our work is to reflect and become more resilient - to emerge from this crisis renewed, strengthened, self-confident and a little wiser.
