European Forum
The European Forum series of guest lectures began even before the official launch of CREST. It is a venue open to faculty, postgraduates, undergraduates and members of the public. Topics include issues related to the development of the European Union, a range of broader European issues including European security and relations between the EU and the former Soviet countries of Eastern Europe as well as the analysis of public policy concerns in and outside the EU.
