Europe today faces many issues, chiefly amongst them the ongoing migration crisis, and the future of European energy security. Both of these areas pose a direct challenge to Europe’s sovereignty, and hold back the continent from finding its place in the world.

Join New Direction on 21 November in Valencia, Spain, as we address the topics and look at how Europe can better protect its sovereignty and security in a changing world. With speeches by leading experts, and thinkers on the subject.
