Regulatory alignment is an important element of the government’s EU agenda and strategy for growth, while the UK continues to diverge from the EU in some areas.
UK in a Changing Europe is bringing together leading academics and policymakers to assess the current UK government’s approach to alignment and divergence with the EU and consider the challenges it faces in delivering on its aims. The conference will also mark the launch of a new report on the same themes.
Please note, this conference is in London and is in-person only with limited spaces. To register your interest in attending, please fill out this form and one of the team will get back to you.
