The date: Wednesday 7 March 2012
The venue: Lloyds Building, London

The University of Leicester invites you to join some of Britain's leading academics and highest-profile opinion formers as we seek answers that could change the way we live for the better.

Is the euro destined to collapse, and with it the great post-war vision of European integration? Or are the outlines of a long-term solution coming into view?

Is the euro becoming an ever greater threat to Europe’s common future, with currency union chaining together economies that are simply incompatible? Or has “the breakthrough to a stability union been achieved” as Angela Merkel recently claimed.

The Time, the Place

  • Refreshments and drinks reception from 5.30pm.
  • Event starts at 6.00pm prompt, 7.30pm finish.
  • The Old Library, Lloyds Building, 1 Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA.

The Event

From one of the UK’s leading universities comes a new way to make real progress on some key issues that shape our society. Join Bill Cash MP, a panel of thought leaders, and an audience of policy makers, opinion leaders and leading economists as we debate ‘Is the euro finished?’ The event will be a Question Time style debate and panellists include:

Your views are important and we'd like you to have the opportunity to shape the way in which policy is developed in the future alongside our speakers. Tickets are free but strictly limited.
