Countless fake news stories, falsehoods, and lies spread daily in the public sphere and on social media, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish them.

Illegal migration remains a long-standing major problem in the European Union, for which member states are constantly seeking common and effective solutions.

iRozhlas | The Agricultural Fund Has Not Halted the Processing of Agrofert’s Applications or the Payment of Subsidies

The European Commission has suspended the payment of a portion of agricultural subsidies to companies within the Agrofert group due to a potential conflict of interest involving Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. However, the State Agricultural Intervention Fund continues to pay financial support to the holding company and has not even suspended the processing of further applications. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director and head of the Brussels branch of the EUROPEUM Institute, warned that if the fund continues to pay subsidies to companies within the Agrofert holding, it risks a major problem.

Econews | Brussels May Reject the Acceleration Zones

In the coming months, the European Commission will assess whether the Czech Republic has properly defined and proposed the acceleration zones. However, the first case from the Olomouc region already shows that the zones are more likely to restrict wind power projects than to facilitate them.

Hospodářské noviny | The U.S. Criticizes Europe for Its Climate Legislation, but Now It’s Copying It

An unexpected window of opportunity has opened for the European Union to influence U.S. trade policy. Surprisingly, this is thanks to the EU’s ambitious climate goals—which Donald Trump loves to criticize but which have put Europe ahead in terms of regulation. Read the commentary by EUROPEUM Institute analysts Karel Voldřich and Jacqueline Liu for Hospodářské noviny.

Charter Lab

The digital transformation of the labour market poses significant challenges to existing legal protection systems. New forms of (self)employment are created that fall outside the scope of existing labour and social rights, the way algorithms function is often not transparent and highly digitised work often goes hand in hand with worker isolation.

Bulid Fair

BuildFair brings fairness back into the discussion by focusing on digitalisation and migration, two priorities of the EU’s Strategic Agenda 2024–2029. Digital transformation is changing the way citizens interact with governments, institutions and each other, but not everyone has the same access to digital services. Migration is an area where key EU values such as human dignity, solidarity and equality before the law are directly at stake. At the same time, debates about fairness are often pushed aside, either because digital policy is seen as too technical or because migration debates are dominated by security concerns.

Policy Paper | Strategic Foresight in Foreign and Security Policy: Potential and Constraints

There has been an ongoing debate on the nature of futures studies, its ambition to evolve into an autonomous field of research and application and what might constitute the core concerns and features of futures studies.

Policy Paper | FIMI DETECTION as a Lived Professional Experience in the Brussels Bubble

The security climate surrounding the EU has worsened, which has also impacted the EU’s information environment.

Meaningful Links, Limited Choice: Relocation Under the EU Migration Pact

This blog written by Kristina Anna Gřešáková, an intern at EUROPEUM Institute, argues that meaningful links are best understood as a partial safeguard. They can make relocation more responsive to applicants' family and social realities, but they cannot determine the outcome. Their practical value will depend on whether national authorities treat them as a genuine matching factor rather than a formal box-ticking exercise.

Blog | Efficiency at What Cost? AI and Fairness in EU Asylum Decision-Making

This blog post written by Research Assistant at EUROPEUM Institute Lasya Gudur examines two central fairness concerns raised by the use of AI in EU asylum procedures - the discrepancy between the reasoning used by AI and the individualized judgement asylum decisions require and the lack of transparency and explainability in automated decision-support systems. It then considers whether the EU AI Act, in its current form, is equipped to address these challenges.

Duševní nepohoda už dávno není okrajové téma. Rok co rok průzkumy potvrzují, že se s ní potýká značná část evropské populace. Stres, úzkosti, vyhoření nebo pocit vnitřního tlaku se stávají běžnou součástí života. Co s tím ale můžeme dělat?
