Conference: 'Being Europe: Crisis? What Crisis?' in Bratislava

The conference 'Being Europe: Crisis? What Crisis?' opens up new vistas on Europe 20 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Under the designation 'Crisis? What crisis?' we bring into focus various perspectives on European changes in the last 20 years and the current crises. The title – taken from a cover of Supertramp´s LP from 1975 – can ironically be interpreted in diverse ways. For example as a synonym for a non-existing crisis or an attempt to disavow the existence of crises. It also describes the crucial questions for this conference: Are we really having a crisis? Are we even confronted with different crises? Or do we deny their existence and profoundness? What can we do to solve possible crises?
