Brexit: 6 Months On
The panel will analyze how British-EU relations have developed in the first six months after the implementation of Brexit agreement. What are the domestic consequences for Britain, in particular regarding Northern Ireland and Scotland ? How have trade relations been impacted ? What are the next steps in EU-UK relations and what are the longer-term goals for Britain's conduct with the EU and its individual member states ? Experts from the policy world and academia will also debate where Europe and the UK are heading in a fluid global order and a revised transatlantic partnership.
