About BEE .
Meet Globernance and the reason for this event
Globernance
This fourth edition of BEE will be titled “Refugee’s Europe`` and will try to address the subject from an integral perspective; that is, addressing in depth the normative (or principle), institutional and socio-political dimension of the refugee crisis. The main objective of these encounters is double: on the one hand, there is a need to perform an analysis of the state of question in Europe that allows to take clear, unitary and systematic action. On the other hand, the multidisciplinarity of the event will give an overview of each artist of one of the greatest challenges that Europe has had to face as a union. We will have, once more, first-line academics and policy-makers to address the problem in all its complexity and to perform an exhaustive and rigorous discourse. These sessions will be organized together with the recently inaugurated School of Transnational Governance of the Florence European Institute.
Sponsors and contributors
None of these Bilbao European Encounters editions would have been possible without the sponsorship and collaboration of Basque public institutions and private entities that have believed from the beginning in the need to analyse, with academic rigour and from the experience, the challenges that Europe faces.
Bilbao European Encounter
In 2013, in the middle of the economic and political crisis, Globernance set out to shed some light on an issue as complex as the European integration project. We understood, as did the institutions that from the first moment endorsed the initiative, that it was necessary to share with the citizenship, from the academic rigour and critical reflection, the knowledge and the debates about the issues that draw the present and future of Europe. It was with this spirit that Bilbao European Encounters emerged.
It is in this line of encounters, debates, reflections and shared learning that Globernance intends to organize the fourth European Encounter in Bilbao (IV BEE2017). To this end, we start from the premise that the urgent situation Europe is facing requires us to focus on one of the aspects that are both more significant and problematic at many levels, for the European institutional framework and for each of the member states: the refugee crisis.
