Past Event
Policy responses for an EU-MENA shared future
In the third edition of the "Platform for Advanced & Emerging Economies Policy Dialogue" we will discuss trade flows and trade policy between Europe and MENA, integration of developing economies into global value chains, and regional energy relations.
The high level workshop, which is the third edition of its kind under this partnership, will take place in Italy on 11th and 12th October 2018. This year we are focusing on the core theme of “Policy Responses for an EU-MENA shared future”, analysed from an economic angle.
Instituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) will also join the partnership this year as the local partner and contribute to the success of the event.
You can check the previous editions here: first edition (Morocco, 2016), and second edition (Belgium, 2017).
