The Canada-Europe Transatlantic Dialogue organized a conference and produced a series of publications integrating major Europe-Canada events over the past seven years.
On March 10-11, 2016, CETD held a major international conference featuring leading scholars from across Canada and Europe who reflected on developments over the last decade and potential areas of convergence or divergence between Europe and Canada in the face of current international and domestic issues. The conference represented an attempt to synthesize major findings on the following topics: cooperation in dealing with international conflict; prospects for intensified trade and investment; and comparing Canadian and European responses to challenges such as environmental sustainability and climate change, migration and integration of immigrants, managing economic crisis, policies for inclusive growth and social inclusion, and issues of democratic legitimacy and governance.
