The European Public Sphere Project is a multi-annual research effort engaging top-level movers and shakers from the worlds of politics, business and media in Europe with the aim of developing actionable policy-oriented proposals to nurture the Europeanisation of national public spheres. This second public event will be held via Zoom to discuss means of operationalising European democracy. In particular, the project lead Dr. Matteo Garavoglia will present three specific proposals inspired by a liberal demoicratic theory and show how, if operationalised, these could contribute to enhancing the quality of European democratic life and policy-making.

Chair: Dr. Hartmut Mayer (Director, European Studies Centre).
Discussants: Prof. Kalypso Nicolaidis (St. Antony’s College, Department of Politics and International Relations) and Prof. Daniel Innerarity (Instituto de Gobernanza Democrática, University of the Basque Country).
