Opening conference: “The Union of Equalities: Promise or Paradox in Geopolitical Europe?”

conférence de rentrée 2025 espol lab
  • Lecture Hall RS 086 Saint-Louis, Robert Schuman building, 58 rue du Port, Lille

Each year, ESPOL opens its academic year with a major lecture given by an academic figure or expert from the professional world on one of the major themes covered by its courses.

For the opening of the 2025-2025 academic year, the school is delighted to welcome Toni HAASTRUP, Professor of International Politics and holder of a Chair in Global Politics at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. Her lecture, entitled ‘The Union of Equalities: Promise or Paradox in Geopolitical Europe?’, will explore the situation of the European Union, its egalitarian values and its functioning in the current uncertain context.
