The European Union: New Neighbours, New Challenges

Hosted by the European Research Institute at The University of Birmingham, the conference will offer delegates an opportunity to reflect on the enlarged European Union and to consider its future. The conference will comprise a mixture of plenary and research panel sessions. The four plenary sessions will look at:

• Wider Europe: The EU and Its New Eastern Neighbours

• What Kind of Borders in the Post-Enlargement EU?

• EU and Security: A European 'Strategic Doctrine'?
