This month, we’re highlighting some of our key articles and publications from the past few months – perfect for your summer reading list.
As the EU institutions enter their summer slowdown, we’re also easing the pace. Just before the break, we wrapped up a busy stretch of activity here in Brussels. We had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from the Green parliamentary group in the Bundestag for an exchange on the EU’s long-term budget (MFF), and together with the Green European Foundation, we co-hosted a timely event on the contested meaning of freedom, drawing from the latest edition of the Green European Journal.
Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline loomed large over EU-US relations. While a deal was ultimately reached, many observers view it as a setback for Europe. Our first Böll EU Brief analyses the potential consequences of rising US tariffs on European trade. And if your summer takes you north, or you’re simply seeking cooler climates, don’t miss our new Böll EU Brief on Northern EU enlargement.
You’ll find these and other recent publications linked below.
Lastly, a quick reminder: Applications for our two junior vacancies close tomorrow. We have also launched the call for our 2025 Climate Disinformation Media Fellowship.
