Gianclaudio Malgieri, associate professor of Law & Technology and board member at eLaw - Center for Law and Digital Technologies met with Swedish and Dutch inspiring academics on 13 November at the Europe House in the Hague, to have an "unrehearsed, spontaneous and eye-opening conversation" on current challenges faced in Europe.
This spontaneous discussion is part of a special edition of the Stockholm Explorative Talks. Stockholm Explorative Talks are known to foster inspiring discussions and build strong connections between science, policymaking, and society at large.
Without the presence of a moderator or the support of a PowerPoint presentation, Malgieri engaged in very fruitful conversations on issues such as current geopolitical shifts, rapid digital transformation, effects of climate change and dissolving lines between security and economics.
The focus of this edition of the Stockholm Explorative Talks is in line with the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen's remarks in her Political Guidelines for 2024-2029 that Europe finds itself at an important moment in time, i.e. in "an era of anxiety and uncertainty" where "Europeans have real doubts and concerns about the instabilities and insecurities we face - from the cost of living, housing and doing business to the way issues such as migration are handled."
Many important panelists were present at this event including, Klasja van de Ridder, the Head of the Representation of the European Commission in The Netherlands, Johannes Oljelund, Ambassador of Sweden to the Netherlands and René Cuperus, Senior Research Fellow EU & Global Affairs at Institute Clingendael.
