Crisis Talks

In the Euro­pean Union, crises have always been an impor­tant driver for change and progress. Crisis situations allow the hetero­geneity of European politics to be trans­cended through a common perception of a situation as critical and urgent and, therefore, emphasize the need for cooperation. Does the historical experience that crises lead to deeper integ­ration still hold true? The “Crisis Talks” lunch­time debate series, organized by the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crisis – Crisis Environments”, addresses how the European Union deals with crises and what we have learned from previous crisis situations.

The “Crisis Talks” lunch­time debate series is organized by the Leibniz Re­search Network “Environmental Crisis – Crisis Environments”  and the Re­presentation of the State of Hesse to the EU in Brussels . Also in­volved are the Leibniz Association's Europe Office and the Research Center Normative Orders of the Goethe Univer­sity Frankfurt. PRIF has been the lead coordinator of the Leibniz Re­search Network since 2021. The network builds on the work of the Leibniz Research Alliance “Crises in a Globalized World” which was established in 2013.
