On 23 January 2023, the Global Europe Centre (GEC) organised an expert workshop on the theme ‘The EU since the War in Ukraine: Still a Normative Power?’. The workshop brought together around 15 experts to discuss how the EU’s identity as a security actor and norm promoter has changed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The GEC co-organised the workshop with Dr Kamil Zwolski of the University of Southampton. Introductory and concluding statements were made by Richard Youngs (Carnegie / University of Warwick), Richard Whitman (GEC / University of Kent) and Vsevolod Samokhvalov (College of Europe / University of Liège).
The Global Europe Centre (GEC) is the University of Kent’s research centre dealing with Europe and the challenges it faces in a rapidly changing world. It is a centre of interdisciplinary research focusing both on the EU and its member states and on Europe as a whole.
