As the world faces growing polarisation, democratic fragility and technological disruption, how can we rethink the institutions that bind our societies together? What kind of new social contract is needed in Europe for this era of uncertainty, what learnings for our institutions and what role should universities play in shaping it? Enrico Letta, Dean of IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs and former Prime Minister of Italy, who has just published the book Europe: Last Chance ( Europa, Ultima Oportunidad) has a forward-looking vision of the role Europe and our universities have to play in strengthening democracy, civic trust, global cooperation and competitiveness. He will engage in a deep conversation with Anne McElvoy, Executive Editor at POLITICO in Europe and host of Politics at Sam and Anne's podcast, to explore how Universities can help rebuild social cohesion and foster a renewed civic ethic in a time of global change.
Event presented by Spartaco Caldararo, Consul General of the Embassy of Italy in Spain.
Event in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish
