This event will launch the Florence Report 2026, a collective effort to rethink Europe’s role and resilience in a changing world, developed within the Economic and Monetary Union Laboratory (EMU Lab).
We invite you to join us for the launch of the inaugural Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies’ EMU Lab Florence Report 2026 - Reconfiguring Europe in a fractured global economy.
The Report is a timely and collaborative effort to address the European Union’s challenges in an increasingly fragmented global landscape. Drawing on the combined expertise of academics and policy professionals, we bring together a wide range of perspectives into a coherent and accessible framework. The report explores the roots and consequences of fragmentation and highlights how constrained policy space affects both national governments and the European Union. Along with proposing novel solutions, experts revisit and consolidate established policy approaches, adapting them to current geopolitical, technological, and environmental realities. By integrating these insights, the Florence Report advances a renewed policy agenda for sustainable and inclusive growth in the Union.
The Florence Report is conceived within the forum of the EMU Lab - a platform for informed debate, offering a synthesis of knowledge and practical recommendations for the future of Europe, under the guidance of Marco Buti and Giancarlo Corsetti.
The Florence Report will be launched via an ‘in conversation’ event between Federico Fubini (Deputy Director of il Corriere della Sera), the two coordinators of the EMU Lab and the authors of the individual chapters.
