Realized through a partnership between FLAD and CUSE, Europe 2030, assembled a set of distinguished authors to predict what the European Union will look like twenty years from now. A range of views is presented, foreseeing everything from slower growth and diminished power to actions that would make the EU a more vigorous, influential world player.

The book launch event featured keynote remarks by European Commission President José Manuel Durão Barroso, who wrote the book’s preface. Carlos Gaspar and two contributing authors, Ambassador José Cutileiro and Jonathan Laurence of Brookings also presented remarks. Rui Machete, author of the book’s introduction, also participated in the event, which marked his final public address as chairman of FLAD.
