About the IDEAS24 conference
The biennial Interdisciplinary conference on European Advanced Studies (IDEAS) is a three-day scientific event organized by the Institut d’études européennes of the Université libre de Bruxelles (IEE-ULB) in collaboration with the Institute for European Studies of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (IES-VUB) and the Politics and International Studies Department at the University of Warwick (PaIS-UoW).
Centred on the notion of ‘Solidarities’, the first two editions of the conference were dedicated to to European and Transatlantic solidarity in May 2017, and European solidarity in June 2019. With the start of the new project centered on the question of inequalities and the EU, the third edition of the conference, in 2022, focused on ‘(Dis)Integration from an (in)equality perspective’.
