Before the working day begins, there will once again be a short input on a current EU topic. Start the day with us, fresh croissants and coffee. On-site only, seats are limited.
After weeks of negotiations and intense power poker, the way is finally clear for the new EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen to take office on 1 December. However, the informal coalition of liberals, social democrats and conservatives is on shaky ground and right-wing populist parties are increasingly gaining influence. While Brussels is reorganising itself, attention is also turning to Berlin and Washington: the largest EU member state is in the middle of an election campaign, the outcome of which will have a lasting impact on the direction of Germany and Europe. At the same time, Donald Trump's second term in office is casting its shadow - with far-reaching consequences for the transatlantic partnership.
At the EU to go breakfast on 3 December at the Q-Club in Friedrichstraße 181, Berlin, Johannes Lindner, Thu Nguyen and Jannik Jansen will look at the challenges and opportunities arising from the new balance of power in Brussels, what role Berlin could play in the EU in the future and how Europe can remain capable of acting internationally. The format: the topics and analyses will be presented in 20 minutes, followed by a ten-minute discussion. The event ends at 9.00 a.m. after just 30 minutes.
8:30 a.m.: New power structures in Brussels
8:40 a.m.: Trump and Germany - an outlook
