12-13/10/2018 - Σεμινάριο | Europe of the Regions (Ουγγαρία)

On October 12th and 13th, 2018, United Europe’s next Young Professionals Seminar will take place, this time at Andrássy University in beautiful Budapest. In cooperation with Innogy.

Torn by migration and boarder issues, debates about further integration and European sovereignty, the European Union is facing multiple challenges these days. Those challenges are also driven by the question of identity. Separatist movements in Catalonia and Scotland underpin the political dimension of identity.

A con-federal system giving regions broader competences looks appealing and seems to be a promising model. Figures show that regional engagement in Europe continues to grow at an exponential rate.

Regions themselves continue to operate actively in Europe and occupy a central position in debates about past trends and possible futures of the EU. And the EU, for its part, is enhancing multilevel governance by working with the European Committee of the Regions.

Europe of the Regions is the name of a political concept designed to promote the regions in the EU member states and support their regional autonomy. This federalist approach is expected to lead to a more efficient regional administration with greater expertise and proximity to the citizens, a strengthening of the competitiveness and infrastructures of the regions and the implementation of the principles of subsidiarity.

According to the constitutional lawyer Josef Isensee, the European regions are “vital elements of European identity”. Here he rooted his variety, that “inexhaustible wealth” that constitutes his essence.

Young talents between 18 and 35 years from all over Europe and from all professions are welcomed to apply.

Travel and accommodation is covered by United Europe.
