The ‘European Union in International Affairs’ (EUIA) Conference provides a major forum for academics and policy-makers to debate the role of the EU in the turbulent realm of international affairs. After a postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the seventh edition of this event will take place from 26 to 28 May 2021 and focus on the theme ‘Assessing the EU’s Capacity to Act’.
#EUIA21 will be a hybrid conference and primarily organised through a high-quality online conferencing tool.
The event will feature a keynote address of Margrethe Vestager, the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, several high-level policy link panels and an editors' debate of leading academic journals in European studies. It will also feature more than 60 academic panels in which scholars present their state-of-the-art research on EU foreign policy-making.
Join us as a non-presenting participant! You will get access to 3 days of academic excellence and debate, as well as be able to network with the many speakers in our interactive high-level conference platform. Register here !

The EUIA Conference is jointly organized by the Brussels School of Governance at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (BSoG-VUB), the Institut d’Études Européennes at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (IEE-ULB), the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS), Egmont – the Royal Institute for International Relations and the Politics and Internationals Studies (PAIS) of the University of Warwick.
EUIA gratefully acknowledges the support of FWO/Research Foundation – Flanders as well as the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS).
In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the EUIA organising team and the partner institutions had to decide, with much regret, to postpone the EUIA20 conference for one year, concretely to May 26-28, 2021. Accordingly, the next two editions will take place in 2023 and 2025.
