On 27 November 2020 TEPSA organised in cooperation with its Portuguese member institute, the Portuguese Institute of International Relations (IPRI) a panel on “Differentiated Integration and the Future of Europe” in the framework of the project “InDivEU – Integrating Diversity in the European Union”. Moderated by  Frank Schimmelfennig (ETH Zürich), the panel featured presentations by Stefan Telle (European University Institute), Katrin Auel (Institute for Advanced Studies Vienna), Ramūnas Vilpišauskas (Vilnius University), Maja Bučar (University of Ljubljana), and Gunilla Herolf (Swedish Institute of International Affairs).

The panel was hosted by TEPSA’s Portuguese Pre-Presidency Conference (PPC). The PPC is TEPSA’s biannual flagship event, taking place right before the inauguration of each new Council Presidency. Bringing together academics, think tankers, policy-makers, media and civil society, the conference aims to discuss the agenda and challenges of the upcoming Presidency and of the EU more broadly. Due to the current restrictions in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic we have decided to transform the traditional conference into a virtual edition.
