The House of European History has the great pleasure of welcoming political scientist and leading thinker on Europe, Ivan Krastev, to discuss how the recent pandemic has become more critical for the future of the Union than anything before in its history to date. The COVID-19 crisis is a human tragedy. it is also an unprecedented social experiment. Potentially the largest social experiment we will ever witness in our lifetime. COVID-19 has brought forward Europe’s “Hamiltonian moment” and has accelerated the process of European integration. However,at the same time, it has forced Europeans to re-think some of the fundamental assumptions on which the European project is built. As part of the Conference on the Future of Europe, the House of European history invites prominent historians and experts to share their insights on some of the topical issues which exist in Europe today.
