#TimeToDecide23The first Time to Decide Europe Summit took place last year in the context of the shock of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The summit proved to be an integral part of the thoughts and actions that started to deal with the crisis in political, economic, and social terms.A year on, we would be delighted if you would join us for the Time to Decide Europe Summit 2023. Together with prominent thinkers, political scientists and economists, we seek to untangle the urgent questions facing Europe today given the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War.Each discussion in the thematic sessions will kick off with input from two distinguished speakers, opening to a discussion with the full panel, followed by an audience Q&amp;A.

<h1>Afternoon session: </h1><h2>2.00 – 3.30 pm | THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF POWER: EUROPE, GEO-POLITICS AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE</h2>Should the EU decouple from the United States’ geopolitical agenda, as French President Macron advocated after his visit to China? If so, at what cost, and could this decoupling happen without the tearing apart of the Union? Are Europeans ready to pay for their defense? And if not what does strategic autonomy mean?Discussion with contributions from the full panel<h2>4.00 – 5.30 pm | CHALLENGES TO EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY: FEAR, LOATHING AND HOPE </h2>Will the will to prevail over a brutal aggressor be strong enough to carry European societies through the possible years of fighting ahead? How will diverging definitions of “peace” be dealt with? The spike in energy prices, fast-growing inflation, the mistrust among certain constituencies – often times deliberately fueled by external forces - is becoming an important factor in electoral politics. In recent memory Europe has never faced such polarisation. How governable are European democracies today? Discussion with contributions from the full panel<blockquote></blockquote>

<h1>Evening session </h1><h2>6.00 – 7.30 pm | FUELING THE FUTURE: ECONOMY, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT</h2>How far should the control of the market go when a war is raging?
