The European Forum Alpbach is a renown discussion-forum where international academics and practitioners meet to discuss topical questions in the impressive surroundings of the Austrian Alps. This year’s motto, ‘Diversity and Resilience’ was also reflected by the panels at the Legal Symposium. On 28 July 2018, ELI President, Christiane Wendehorst, chaired a panel on the topic of ‘The Future of the EU: The Challenges of Self-Determination’. The panellists examined which legal challenges follow on from mounting calls for national self-determination, particularly given the context of contemporary separatist movements.
