The State of the Union conference, organised by the European University Institute (EUI), is an annual event for high-level reflection on the European Union and is a reference point in the EU agenda. Over the last five years we have seen the participation of the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Parliament, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Foreign Ministers.
The conference’s sixth edition took place in Florence from 5 to 7 May 2016. President Barón Crespo has participated in the conference about Populism in Europe.
