The aim of this prominent event is to promote progressive policy debate across disciplines and to bridge the political-academic divide. Hence, the participants include interested actors from different background, including researchers, politicians, civil servants, trade unionists and journalists. The Research and Policy Days have so far touched upon several diverse topics, always linked to current European issues. Among others, these included “Politics and Religion” to “Euroelitism and Populism.”
 
In the framework of the European Year of the Citizens, this year the Research and Policy Day will focus on the state of democracy in contemporary European societies. It will ponder the state of democracy at the local, national, European and global levels.

Diez años del Brexit: la metamorfosis del euroescepticismo

by La Razón 24/06/2026
"Ten years of Brexit: the metamorphosis of Euroscepticism". This article from La Razón mentions FEPS policy brief "Countering the far right in the European Parliament", which examines the growing normalisation of far-right parties within the EP and analyses how their strategy has shifted from rejecting the EU to reshaping it from within.
