| Uncertainty surrounds the future of the European          Union and its place in the          world. The crisis set in motion a whole range of initiatives and          institutional          changes and in Europe, both at the EU28 and euro area levels.          These now have to blossom into a solid and durable edifice.  A challenge is therefore to make sure that the          next steps in European          integration live up to the economic, institutional, political,          social and governance          challenges that Europe is facing.  | In that context, CEPII and France Stratégie have launched a          series of monthly events –          lunchtalks - about Europe with the aim to bring together          officials, academics,          as well as practitioners and corporates around a relevant          speaker selected for          his relevance for European matters. |
