The Jacques Delors Institute’s European Steering Committee regularly brings together high-profile European personalities in order to debate issues fundamental for the future of the Union (economic and social cohesion in an enlarged Europe, the Federation of Nation States, the fight against organised crime in Europe, reform of institutions, etc). It sets the direction of the Jacques Delors Institute’s research and formulates possible future directions for the European project. These debates are a source of inspiration in Jacques Delors Institute’s daily work.
