�ۿ۴�ý

The roundtable event, organised by the �ۿ۴�ý’s Centre for Britain and Europe, and titled ‘Europe’s place in a challenged world’, is open to members of the public and will take place on the �ۿ۴�ý’s Stag Hill campus on Thursday 28 April from 12-1.15pm.  

The panel will also feature award-winning journalist, Barbara Serra, who has worked for Al Jazeera’s NewsHour programme, as well as the BBC, Sky News and Channel 5. 

Between 2014-19, Federica Mogherini was the former Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Currently the Rector of the College of Europe in Bruges, she brings unique experience and insights that guarantee a stimulating conversation on the current status of European foreign affairs, its challenges and longer-term opportunities.  

Professor Amelia Hadfield, Dean International and Head of the Department of Politics at the �ۿ۴�ý, said:  

“This special event will provide a fascinating discussion around the current state of Europe, which has seen some of the swiftest geopolitical changes since the end of World War Two, notably as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The roundtable will also assess the impact of the Ukraine crisis on the EU’s ability to be an effective foreign and security actor.”
