Europe and Mobilities: Challenges and Opportunities for Socio-Economic Transformations

The conference will serve as a key platform for discussing the socio-economic transformations shaping Europe's future. The event will bring together leading academics, policymakers, and representatives from international and non-governmental organizations to engage in high-level discussions on Europe's most pressing challenges.

The conference will feature two expert keynote speeches and seven thematic sessions addressing crucial socio-economic and political developments in Europe. Discussions will explore the evolving migration patterns in Europe, the socio-economic implications of demographic transformations, enlargement policies of the EU and its possible future development, the democratic backsliding in Europe, the transition to sustainable energy, the socio-economic impact of the global digital transformation, and Europe's role in digital platforms and their influence on human and planetary well-being.

The conference will be complemented by a series of meetings presenting upcoming calls in the Horizon Europe Framework Programme, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration. A dedicated brokerage meeting, planned for June 6th, will provide support for applicants in developing strong, competitive research projects that address the challenges discussed during the conference.
