At a time of dramatic transformation, Europe faces key challenges: democratic renewal, its position on the global geopolitical stage, and the exponential impact of artificial intelligence. This discussion brings together two key figures to consider the future of Europe and its role in the world. 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 —a call to action to work towards a stronger and more competitive European Union that can hold its own. He will be joined by Nick Clegg, also a strong advocate of EU integration, former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and, until recently, President of Global Affairs at Meta. He offers a unique perspective from the intersection of politics, technology and society, after years at the forefront of institutional and regulatory relations at one of the world's tech giants.
The discussion will be moderated by journalist Helena de Bertodano, an international correspondent and regular contributor to media outlets such as The Times and The Sunday Times, known for her sharp insight into the major players on the global stage. This conversation will seek to understand how Europe's values and structures are being redefined in a time marked by technological disruption and new power balances.
Presented by Sir Alex Ellis, British Ambassador to Spain, the event will be introduced by students of the IE European Union Club, Oleksandr Mysyk and Catherine del Rio.
