MERCURY Conference 3rd September 2010 "CHALLENGES FOR GLOBAL EUROPE"

MERCURY and the Europa Institute of the University of Edinburgh are pleased to announce a half-day conference on the European Union's role in the evolving global order. The financial crisis, climate change talks, migration, the rise of China and other issues present a host of challenges, and leading figures will reflect on the EU's priorities and capabilities given post-Lisbon restructuring of external policy.

MERCURY is a consortium of academic partners formed to examine critically the European Union's contribution to multilateralism. It explores multilateralism as a concept, an aspiration, and a form of international order. On this website, you will find more detailed descriptions of the project partners and the project structure as well as first project results such as three MERCURY E-papers (see Publications), an online glossary on multilateralism (see Glossary) and the database DATEX on EU legal instruments in external policy fields (see DATEX database).
