Polish European Community Studies Association (PECSA), Jean Monnet Chair of the European Union and Department of Political Studies of the Collegium of Socio-Economics at SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland), Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Poland, Institute of Political Science and Inter-Institutes Migration Research Unit of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, Research Center on European Integration at the University of Gdańsk and Partners invite to the PECSA International Conference “Connecting the European Union of Shared Aims, Freedoms, Values and Responsibilities” at SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) which will be held on 5 December 2019.

The conference will contribute to the debate on the most current issues of the European integration processes, determining their scope and dynamics, such as migration, discrimination, social exclusion, international instability, internal and external security. This is vital for the success of integration processes as they are based on the axiological foundations that allow 28 Member States and their societies to cooperate and the EU to act as one united although diversified actor. Special attention will be paid to the contribution that academia can make to policy-making in order to support and protect the shared European values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights – values that represent foundations of any free and democratic society.
