The future of EU-UK long term partnership

In March 2017, the United Kingdom invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union, effectively starting the process of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. This has raised the need to explore how the UK can continue its partnership with the EU institutions and EU Member States, in order to preserve mutual benefits of 40 years of close cooperation. In this Lunchtime Policy Dialogue Series, co-organised by CEPS and the British Council, the challenges such a change entails, the obstacles to maintain a fruitful cooperation and, more importantly, how to maintain an effective EU-UK partnership will be discussed. The Lunchtime Policy Dialogues will focus on three areas of collaboration: Science and Research, Education, and External Aid.
