The seventh edition of the Prague European Summit took place on 12, 13 and 14 July 2021.
The Prague European Summit is a platform for strategic dialogue about common responses to EU's challenges. It connects public officials, business and NGO representatives, academics and journalists to discuss topics such as EU leadership, security, new technologies and digital age, current economic & foreign policy challenges, or the impact of various policies and trends on the European society.
Within the overarching theme of “Europe Reborn”, the 2021 and 7th edition of Prague European Summit ran three main spotlight themes: post-pandemic recovery, the re-ordering of the EU’s relations with the outside world and the calls for strategic autonomy of the Union, and the future development of European policies.
