The Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and the Bertelsmann Foundation jointly organized a conference on The EU and its Neighbours: In Search of New Forms of Partnership. The conference was held in Sounio nearby Athens between July 3-6, 2008.
At a critical juncture, 45 leading thinkers, policy-makers and journalists brainstormed on the future relationship between the EU and its eastern and southern neighbours. The participants from numerous European and non-European countries (1) discussed the expectations of both the EU and its neighbours, (2) analysed the current state of the EU's neighbourhood policy, (3) explored the potentials of the new Union for the Mediterranean, (4) looked into the cooperation potentials in the fields of agriculture, education, energy, and migration, and (5) finally, sketched possible alternatives between full membership and non-membership.
The conference was supported by the European Commission, DG Education and Culture, Jean Monnet Programme.
