The 2025 EuroMemorandum has just been published.
As is customary, it draws on the discussions and papers presented at the 30th Annual Conference held in September 2024, organized by the EMG and University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna.
2025 is the 30th anniversary of the founding of the EuroMemo Group, while the first EM Report was produced in 1997. The 2025 EuroMemorandum is titled ‘Europe and the world beyond the polycrisis: Possible futures’, as it looks into the future, imagining how this may evolve.
In particular, the 2025 Euromemorandum Report considers developments within a broader timescale, in addition to the usual one-year timeframe of analysis. In 2024, the EU produced a whole host of reports that analyse developments over the longer term, forecast and strategize well into the future. This includes the Strategic Agenda of the European Council, the Political Guidelines of the President of the European Commission, the Letta Report and above all the Draghi Report.
More specifically, the first Chapter of the Report examines developments in the EU economic, industrial and social policy in 2024 and proposes alternatives. Chapter 2 offers a broader critique of the EU’s strategic planning, imagining alternative futures, while Chapter 3 focuses on the Euro, its effects in the 25 years of its existence and the implications of EU policy over the next 25 years. Chapter 4 analyses the challenges of sustainable development, while Chapter 5 discusses the conditions for moving beyond Eurocentrism.
