Security, EU Enlargement and the Role of the EU in the Defense of Ukraine

Two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are faced with many international challenges. How has the topic of EU Securitisation changed since 2022? To which extent is the EU expansion discussion seen through the perspective of the Ukraine war?

How must EU's capacity to act in the defense of Ukraine develop? How should EU institutions be strengthened to further manage these securitisation issues?

The event will be initiated by an panel discussion with two experts, Jakob Kaarsbo from Think Tank Europa and Christine Nissen from the Danish Institute for International Studies, followed by a debate with candidates for the European Parliament Elections from different political parties.

The event is held in english.

Why an English language debate? 20% of the EU citizens living in Denmark, live in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. All EU citizens have the right to vote for European Parliament elections to be held on the 9^th of June 2024 in Denmark. But will they?

For too long, European issues have been seen through national lenses. The election to the European Parliament has suffered from the lack of inclusion of a European point of view and we wish to change this.  

The event is organised in a collaboration between Volt Danmark, Renaissance, Radikale Venstre, Alternativet and Nyt Europa.
