The Geopolitical Observatory for Russia’s Key Issues (G.O.R.K.I. Centre of St Petersburg University) invites university students and young professionals to a seminar
‘EU – China: Systemic Rivalry or Room for Cooperation?’ that will be held on
14 and 16 November 2024 at the
Kelch Mansion (28 Tchaikovsky Street).
The EU Council plays a key role in the areas of European integration where decision-making takes place at the intergovernmental level. Based on the provisions of the Maastricht Treaty, the Council is responsible for joint foreign and security policy. During our simulation of an EU Council meeting, which will begin on
16 November at 11:00, the
participants will play heads of states and governments of the EU member states.
The moderator of the event will be
Dr Karin Kneissl, Head of the Geopolitical Observatory for Russia’s Key Issues (G.O.R.K.I. Centre), Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Austria (2017–2019), who will share her experience of interacting with the EU institutions.
Briefings by Dr Kneissl, St Petersburg University lecturers, and participants from EU member states will help you understand the background of European–Chinese relations and the work of the EU Council and make an informed decision on the position of the country you represent.
The lectures will be held on 14 November from 15:00 to 21:00.
Coffee breaks are scheduled on both days of the seminar.
The working language of the event is
English.
