The Conference on the Future of Europe

Abstract

The one-year ‘Conference on the Future of Europe’ came to an end in May 2022. CoFoE is an unprecedented experiment in democracy at EU level. At its heart is the engagement of citizens in deliberative consultations on the future of European integration. This volume includes eleven contributions which examine the process and the results of this innovative dialogue process in select EU member states; the contributions analyse the involvement of national and regional actors as well as EU institutions. Many of the authors from politics, administration and academia personally partook in the conference. With a preface by the President of the European Committee of the Regions. With contributions by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Abels │ Jarolím Antal, Ph.D. │ Muhterem Aras │ Prof. Susanna Cafaro │ Mario Kölling │ Servane Metzger │ Dr. Sarah Meyer │ Timo Peters │ Wolfgang Petzold │ Prof. Min Reuchamps │ Ann-Mireille Sautter │ Mattéo Torres-Ader │ Florian Ziegenbalg
