The aim of the Conference is to analyse the challenges facing the EU, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, though it should also reflect the European Union’s Strategic Agenda (the EU policies accorded priority for the period 2019-2024). The range of topics to be addressed also encompasses climate change policy, economic and social issues, and the digital transformation. Nevertheless, all citizens are free to raise questions that they wish to be debated. We can make sport one of these topics.
