On 8 November 2019, Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration Mary C. Murphy at the University College Cork, will give the 2019 Jean Monnet Lecture on the topic "The Irish Perspective on Brexit".
Wednesday 6 November, professor Lise Rye gave a public talk on Norway's relationship with the European Union at Suhmhuset in Trondheim.
In this lecture, prof. Rye offered a long-term perspective on Norway's policy on Europe, from the Norwegian Constitution's limits to waiving sovereignty and Norway's current affiliation with the European Economic Area. The main questions addressed were: What happened in the relationship between Norway and the EEC/EU in the period between Norway's two membership referenda? How did Norway, the country voting no, end up as the EU's most integrated non-member?
The event was free and open to the public. See also the Facebook event.
