The project aims to deepen and consolidate knowledge on the implications that both parts have after the referendum that has decided United Kingdom’s wish to leave the union but also to gather insight concerning diplomacy and the art of negotiation.

The programme will comprise lectures, debates, and workshops that will discuss the various economic, political, social and cultural challenges that lie ahead of the Brexit vote.The curriculum addresses general issues and theoretical aspects of International Relations, Diplomacy, Economics and Security aspects in an effort to offer a comprehensive and balanced analysis of the foreseeable future of the European Union. It will also address topics such as the possibility of building an EU Army, challenging more integrated macroeconomic policies regarding the Eurozone, the flexibility of the single market and also achieving more integrated migration policies.

In previous editions, in addition to experts and intellectuals, we have enjoyed the presence of Ambassadors, diplomats, academics, businessmen and many respected professionals.
