SCER’s new major programme on Scotland and Europe will analyse some of the big questions and challenges facing the European Union. The EU, in 2019, is set to hold elections for the European Parliament in May and appoint a new Commission and a new European Council President by the end of the year. Given a challenging and disruptive external and internal environment for the EU, the Parliament, Commission and Council must address these questions and challenges for the future of Europe in a strategic and dynamic way.
