The main auditorium of the University of Luxembourg was filled to the last seat for the conference “Shaping the Europe of the future” organised by the C²DH, with the European Commission Representation in Luxembourg and their partners on 13 October.
Guest speaker Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, opened the conference “Shaping the Europe of the Future” by giving his view on the current state of the European Union, its achievements and its challenges for the future. After his lecture, students sitting in the audience were given the opportunity to put their questions directly to Mr Juncker.
The lecture was followed by an animated discussion during a round table with Jacques Santer, Honorary Minister of State, former Luxembourg Prime Minister and former President of the European Commission; Viviane Reding, Member of the European Parliament and former Vice-President of the European Commission; Claude Turmes, Member of the European Parliament; Yves Mersch, Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank and former President of the Banque centrale du Luxembourg; and Dr Ludwig Neyses, Vice-President for Research and acting President of the University of Luxembourg. The panel exchanged views with four students from the University of Luxembourg.
