"Courageous or Coerced?" Europe´s role in a changing geopolitical order
The Europeanist Society and the Austrian Society are delighted to host Member of the European Parliament Lukas Mandl for a talk on European geopolitics, the urgent need for courage, and the dire consequences of inaction.

Lukas Mandl served as Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, and currently chairs the European Parliament’s Delegation to the Korean Peninsula. He is also President of the Altiero Spinelli Group and the European Federalist Movement Austria.

In light of the evolving global security landscape, MEP Mandl’s extensive background in European foreign and defence policy, as well as his advocacy for a stronger European Union, make his insights particularly timely. His address will not only provide an analysis of Europe’s current geopolitical challenges but also propose a constructive path forward.

The talk will be followed by an interactive Q&A session.
