In Prague, ICE took part in the Eurodebate of the Economic Journal, the portal Justicie and the Medical Journal, focusing on hot topics related to the future of Europe, under the title: Agenda for the new European Parliament and European Commission.

They said about us

“Today, no country in Europe can pretend that it can solve problems on its own. Every important issue in Slovakia has a European context. I believe that ICE activities will be a good contribution to understanding and unity in Europe. I have known Martin for many years and I know how much he cares about Europe being strong in terms of security and Slovakia being a stable and reliable part of it.“

Miroslav Lajčák – EU Special Representative for the Serbia-Kosovo Dialogue, former Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic

“With every European summit nowadays looking like a Shakespearean tragedy, bridging the gap between Western, Central and Eastern Europe is becoming a question of the survival of the European Union. In this cheerless context, the birth of the ICE is more welcome than ever. The Institute brings exactly what the current intellectual and political debates in Europe desperately need: tools and materials to promote better understanding across the continent.”

François Gemenne – Director of the Hugo Research Centre at the University of Liege and professor at the Institute of Political Science in Paris
