Welcome to UACES

The first SECEUR Research Network annual workshop titled ‘European Security at a turning point? Trends and Themes in Defence (Dis)Integration’ will take place 30-31 May 2024, at the University of Surrey, Guildford.

Twenty years have passed since the 2004 EU enlargement and perhaps it has never been more urgent to question the impact and importance of the EU’s expansion policy for CEE and SEE, as well as of the principles underpinning European integration or European values more in general. This conference provides a space for critically engaging with such questions: for thinking about vices and virtues of our present and to working towards better futures.

The EUNMUTE Doctoral and Early-Career Scholars Workshop is a scientific event organized by the Institute for European Studies at UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles, as part of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence “Un-Muting Europe” (EUNMUTE).
