After a very successful continuation of the Europa-Kolleg Research Seminar in the past month, we are happy to announce that Dr. Dietmar Nickel, Director-General (ret.) of the European Parliament and Research Fellow at the Institute for European Integration, will join us for our last meeting this year, on Monday, 24st November 2014. He will give a talk entitled “The Investiture of the European Commission – Was it Different this Time?” – a topic of high relevance before the background of the Juncker-Commission being in office since the beginning of this month and certainly leaving much room for a lively debate.

Moreover, Dr. Alexander Salenko, Associate Professor at the Department of International and European Law of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University of Russia and Visiting Fellow at the Institute for European Integration, will present his current research project.
