European Debate Initiative
The European Debate Initiative organises debates about European and global affairs, including politics, law, culture and more. Policy-makers and experts from various professional fields are invited to share their experience, and students have the opportunity to engage in conversation with experts - to learn, to be inspired and to think of concrete solutions for complex issues in Europe and the world.
