IDEAS Keynote: European Social Citizenship in Perspective V2

This keynote is co-organised with CIVIS alliance in the context of the Interdisciplinary conference on European Advanced Studies (IDEAS), held at the Institut d’études europénnes (IEE-ULB) in May 2024.
The keynote is given by Professor Martin Seeleib-Kaiser from the University of Tübingen and Professor Zoe Lefkofridi from the University of Salzburg. The discussion is chaired by Professor Amandine Crespy from the IEE-ULB.
The keynote highlights the stratification of social rights and the regional variation within the EU. The speakers discuss for instance whether we need to look beyond nation states and the concept of a European Social Union as a “holding environment” for national welfare states, if we aim to realize social citizenship in the European Union.
