On Tuesday, the Hungarian parliament decided on amendments that threaten the continued operation and existence of the CEU. Read the complete wording of the statement on our website.
Continuation of collaborative project with Danish Institute for International Studies
The collaboration between the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and the Institute for European Politics (IEP) will continue in 2017. Launched in 2015 with a project on Danish-German military cooperation, the most recent project in 2016 concentrated on the effects of the refugee crisis on Denmark and the German government’s EU-policy agenda as well as its political leeway. This year, security debates in the run-up to the German national elections will be the main focus of the collaboration.
