At this event in Luxembourg, we focused on how a smaller Member State such as Luxembourg can still contribute to the debates and policies within the European integration process on economic strength, autonomy or strategic independence. This event questioned what "sovereignty" means currently in a context of geopolitical tensions and interconnectedness.

In the frame of Bruegel's 20th Anniversary celebrations we are organising a series of events in our members states, to bring important European conversations to the capitals and hear views from national policy makers and experts on potential challenges and solutions.
