The European Council Experts’ Debrief is our series of initiatives taking count of current EU affairs. Here we publish the TEPSA Network’s policy responses to the regularly published conclusions of the European Council. Each time the European Council meet for a summit, TEPSA gathers its leading academics to comment on the conclusions, analysing alliances formed, maintained, and broken, investigating the policy implications of the consensus reached, and prescribing solutions to move Europe forward.

The Debrief gathers TEPSA’s leading academics to comment on the conclusions, analysing alliances formed, maintained, and broken, investigating the policy implications of the consensus reached, and prescribing solutions to move Europe forward.

In each issue, TEPSA Secretary-General Jim Cloos and Executive Director Mariam Khotenashvili formulate a question on a given topic relevant to the discussion which has taken place in the European Council. For this point, contributing experts give bold analysis and strong recommendations on possible pathways forward for the European project in the given policy area. The European Council Experts’ Debrief also published ad hoc special issues on noteworthy themes when necessary.
