Building Partnerships of Purpose - A conference on EU's international partnerships and geostrategic role in a shifting world order
30. september 2025 10.00 - 17.00
Set during the Danish EU-presidency, this conference will bring together Danish and EU policymakers, academia, think tanks, civil society, and the private sector to examine and debate the EU’s evolving role in global development. The conference will feature high-level keynotes and panel sessions and explore concrete ways to ensure that future partnerships are both equitable and strategically effective.
In an era marked by geopolitical shifts, the EU must define its role as a geostrategic actor in global sustainable development. The EU’s Global Gateway strategy underscores its commitment to fostering mutually beneficial partnerships and its ambition to engage in development as a strategic partner.
However, establishing mutually beneficial, long-term partnerships that enhance, for instance, the EU’s security and competitiveness while supporting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, upholding the treaty-bound commitment to poverty reduction, and ensuring local ownership is easier said than done.
This calls for a discussion on how the EU positions itself as a geostrategic actor in a way that supports global sustainable development. The conference offers a unique opportunity to advance the conversation on the future of EU’s international partnerships specifically in Africa and how the EU can refine its approach to ensure that partnerships are both equitable and strategically beneficial.
The day will be structured in two parts:
Pathways for the EU's international Partnerships
A morning session including lunch from 10 am - 1pm
Strategic Partnerships in Times of Crises and the Future of EU's Global Engagement
An afternoon session from 1pm - 5pm including coffee break and reception
The afternoon session will be livestreamed.
