On 4-5 September Bruegel organised its Annual Meetings. As in previous years, the Meetings offer relevant topical discussions through which we strive to contribute to the quality of economic policy making in Europe and beyond.

The event comes at a crucial moment in the European political agenda: a few months after the elections of the European Parliament and on the eve of the formation of the new Commission. The future trajectories of Europe’s political projects will be at stake and play a crucial role on the global stage.

This year's meetings featured the release of Bruegel's Memos to the New European Commission in which our scholars offer their recommendations to the new European leadership.
