What developments will shape the EU and its role in the world in the coming year? Kicking off the New Year, this roundtable discussion will identify vital trends and dynamics that are likely to set the EU agenda in 2018. By reflecting upon the 'known unknowns', sharing our findings and exchanging views, we will engage in a forward-leaning debate to gain a better overview of the 'big picture', identify strategic issues for 2018 and find drivers for the EP’s work.
