RETHINKING EUROPE | Celebrating Helmut Schmidt at 100

International Symposium | Hamburg, 22. Feb 2019

Throughout his political life, Helmut Schmidt advanced the idea of a strong and united Europe. Today, however, this European unity is under threat from many sides. While the majority of its citizens take the European Union (EU) for granted, much of what comes from Brussels creates distrust and resistance. At the same time, the EU is confronted with a new global (dis)order in which its core values – such as multilateralism and free trade – are increasingly under attack.

100 days before the European Parliament election, Helmut Schmidt’s 100th birthday provides a unique opportunity to rethink key questions about Europe's future. Three “Schmidt-topics” are in focus: foreign and security policy, economic and financial policy, as well as institutional affairs of the EU: What must be done to counter anti-European populist movements and keep Europe united? How can the EU be a relevant player in a new global order? And what role can the EU and its member states play to advance economic prosperity for their citizens?
