Future Generations Conference

Jesuit European Social Center

Join us at the Future Generations Conference and discuss with us how Future Generations can become part of EU decision making!

Rue du Marais 119

Welcome to the Future Generations Conference!Representing the rights of Future Generations in the legislative work of the EU is an opportunity that brings a long-term perspective to our political thinking in the age of the poly-crisis. Europe was always a long-term journey, never complete but an ongoing experiment in political imagination. Are we on the pathway we want to take? What future are we building for our children and grandchildren? In the age of climate change, rapid digital transformation, geopolitical uncertainty and environmental destruction the fate of Future Generations is increasingly uncertain.The Future Generations Conference will explore this timely political idea with an interdisciplinary lens, inviting some of the best scholars and experts of the topic across Europe, to explore and discuss how Future Generations should become players in European decision making.The keynote speakers of the morning panel will feature:<a href="https://commission.europa.eu/persons/daniel-calleja-crespo_en" title="https://commission.europa.eu/persons/daniel-calleja-crespo_en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daniel Calleja Crespo</a>, Director General from the EC Legal Service (BE)<a href="https://www.fairbrother.org/" title="https://www.fairbrother.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Malcolm Fairbrother,</a> professor of sociology from Uppsala University (SE)<a href="https://philpeople.org/profiles/charlotte-franziska-unruh" title="https://philpeople.org/profiles/charlotte-franziska-unruh" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Charlotte Unruh</a>, lecturer of philosophy from University of Southampton (UK)<a href="https://www.utu.fi/en/people/maija-setala" title="https://www.utu.fi/en/people/maija-setala" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Maija Setälä</a>, professor of political science from University of Turku (FI) The afternoon sessions will be interactive discussions with expert panels:<ol><li>Participative methods to represent Future Generations, chaired by <a href="https://www.worldfuturecouncil.org/marie-claire-graf/" title="https://www.worldfuturecouncil.org/marie-claire-graf/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marie-Claire Graf</a> (tbc)</li><li>Future-fit Economic Policies, chaired by <a href="https://emap.georgetown.edu/dr-gael-giraud/#" title="https://emap.georgetown.edu/dr-gael-giraud/#" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gael Giraud SJ</a></li><li>Rights of Future Generations, chaired by <a href="https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/juri/cpdr/olivier-de-schutter.html" title="https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/juri/cpdr/olivier-de-schutter.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Olivier De Schutter</a></li></ol>The Future Generations Conference is organized by the Jesuit European Social Centre.Detailed information and full agenda is <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QbrLZV92SjO7ouVoYe7iNB3XBDAlkMac/view" title="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QbrLZV92SjO7ouVoYe7iNB3XBDAlkMac/view" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">available here.</a>The morning plenary will also be livestreamed via Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4DRHNhWpwMFor all questions, please contact the organising team via: <a href="mailto:eniko.feherekova@jesc.eu" title="mailto:eniko.feherekova@jesc.eu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">eniko.feherekova@jesc.eu</a>
