Roundtable ”Neutrality in a Globalised Europe"

On 7 April, the Centre for European Studies and the Centre for Irish-German Studies jointly organised a roundtable named ”Neutrality in a Globalised Europe: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Perspectives of Austria, Ireland, and Switzerland". The discussion centered around political neutrality and beyond with the Swiss ambassador to Ireland H.E. Jenny Piaget, and the Austrian ambassador to Ireland H.E. Melitta Schubert. Other members of the panel were UL colleague Dr Scott Fitzsimmons and UL Master's student Conor Scannell. CIGS members Dr Anita Barmettler and OeAD Lektor Johannes Vith moderated the roundtable and the discussion with the audience afterwards. The event was a great success and showed the importance of the topic.
