Jonathan Zeitlin from #InDivEU is currently opening the @aces_for annual conference: "Differentiated Integration and the #FutureofEurope: Promises, Pitfalls, Pathways"

Here are some key moments...

/THREAD

Frank Schimmelfennig from #InDivEU now gives his intergovernmentalist take on explaining #DifferentiatedIntegration

/2

Sandra Lavenex from @IdeaEu begins her presentation on #Differentiation by giving a vision of Differentiated Integration through the prism of a "condominio"

/3

Now @JohnErikFossum from @EU3Dh2020 is giving his introduction, on differentiation, dominance & democracy

"Differentiation is not good or bad, but can take various shapes, which we want to distinguish between"

/4

As @EU3Dh2020's @JohnErikFossum finishes his presentation, we now open up the panel for discussion

All three @dice_h2020 projects are represented in this first conference panel: #InDivEU, @IdeaEu, and @EU3Dh2020, so the interplay should be fascinating

/5

After the speakers have engaged with their ideas as a panel, we now open the floor to questions from the audience: first up, a question on the rich vs. poor dynamics between Member States leading on from the presentation on #InDivEU's Frank Schimmelfennig

/6

Well with the quality and quantity of questions we've received, we've run over time

But with the richness of discussion this is most definitely a good thing!

/7

As this first panel draws to a close, we thank our participants from all three @dice_h2020 projects: #InDivEU, @EU3Dh2020, and @IdeaEu

Tune in at 14:30 for the next panel💪

/8

Our second panel has just begun: "Politics and Preferences: For and Against Differentiated Integration"

With three key experts in attendance, it should make for a great debate on the topic of #Differentiation

/9

.@CatherineDVries from #InDivEU has just begun to give her contribution to this second panel of the day, and of the conference

/10

Dirk Leuffen from @EU3Dh2020 has now taken the floor and is giving a fascinating insight into the historical context that has led to #DifferentiatedIntegration being the reality of the modern European integration

/11

Stefan Telle from #InDivEU tells us about his project of nine months, asking:

"How important is #DifferentiatedIntegration to member state governments?"
"Ahat positions the governments have on it?"

/12

As Stefan Telle concludes his presentation from #InDivEU, Jonathan Zeitlin gives the panelists the chance to comment on each others' presentations, starting with #InDivEU's @BrigidLaffan, who comments "we're seeing research into elements of DI that we've not examined before"

/13

We are hearing the final comments of our expert panelists from the afternoon session 💪

/14

Jonathan Zeitlin now thanks our panelists and the audience for a fascinating and insightful second panel for the @aces_for annual conference, and praises the online format for allowing us to "meet with colleagues, friends, and family" from across the continent and beyond

/15

#Zoom back in this evening at 20:00 for "#Brexit and the Future EU-UK Relationship: A Case of Differentiated Disintegration?"

/16

Good evening all! We're now having the third of today's three panels for the @aces_for Annual Conference, organised in co-operation with @dice_h2020 and showcasing our three constituent projects: #InDivEU, @IdeaEu, and @EU3Dh2020

We're talking all thing #Brexit!

/17

Michael Keating from #InDivEU is currently giving his analysis of #Brexit since the 2019 election: a tilt towards the 'little England' version of Brexit

/18

.@eulaliarubio from @IdeaEu now begins her presentation on what #Brexit means in a real, concrete sense, to theories of European integration

/19

Chris Lord from @EU3Dh2020 begins his analysis of the limits to the UK's withdrawal from the EU, and ways in which Brexit can only be a rupture rather than a massaging of the current status quo

/20

.@Jochemwiers begins his remarks from the perspective of someone close to the negotiations

As the representative on this panel from the NL #Brexit Taskforce, his perspective is unique and valuable

/21

Now that we've heard out initial presentations, @aces_for's Christina Eckes begins the panel discussion - now get your questions in the chat before the Q&A!!

/22

Christina Eckes closes our final panel of the day, but #Woom in tomorrow for more!
