07: Does the EU Drive (In-)Equality?
Supported by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber
What is the impact of EU integration on the InEquality of European institutions, Member States and citizens? Who are the decision takers and is there a need to balance out the opportunities for participation? How can we foster sustainable and inclusive growth? What should a future Single Market offering equal opportunity resemble? In three interactive workshops dealing with the policy-making process in the EU, political priorities and equality of opportunities within the European Single Market, participants will elaborate proposals for a future EU integration that fosters equality.
