We’ve become less engaged and trusting of politicians, political parties, and policies. To protect the future of democracy in Europe, technology will play a key role. Think TripAdvisor, for voting.

The Conference on the Future of Europe may seem confusing and exclusive to ordinary Europeans, but there are several ways citizens can make their voices heard. As a young person working on a Conference-related project, here’s my view on how this can be achieved.
There is weak cohesion within Europe’s financial system. From country-to-country, making payments is confusing and messy. PSD2 promises to change this.
We’re conditioned to quickly size up people based on looks, wealth, and social status. This fast, swipe-right culture is upholding unconscious classism. Let’s get some schooling in meritocracy.
After 20 years of war, the crisis in Afghanistan promotes the need for the European Union to increase it’s strategic autonomy. Dr. Julien Théron, a lecturer in conflict and international security studies at Sciences Po, shares his perspectives.
The Taxonomy on sustainable activities is a first of its kind, and will oblige companies to tell the truth about their engagement to sustainability. Will this put an end to green washing? What does such a taxonomy mean for the rest of us? I attempt to explore.
1.1 billion people worldwide are now freelancers. The economy of the future is digital. Everything about work, as we know it, is changing. EU policies need to catch up with these evolutions for the sake of reinforcing social cohesion in Europe.
There are 80 million people involuntarily on the move worldwide. This has long been perceived as a humanitarian crisis. In this article, I pose a fresh perspective.
While few things are simpler than gathering around a table to share a meal, the process of getting food onto your plate is surprisingly complex. People, animals, geographies, institutions, traditions and policies: the interaction between all of these actors and processes results in an intricate ecosystem of food. In my second article for Accidental European, I explore how better understanding this ecosystem can ensure a collaborative approach that will serve up a more sustainable and inclusive ecological future, for food and beyond.
How is higher-education performing in the European Union (EU)? The statistics are rather encouraging. In 10 years the number of graduates has increased from 32.6% to 40.3% for the 30-34 age group. The reality is very mixed in terms of results, though, and there are vast challenges that need to be addressed.
