About Us
Euro Prospects is an independent platform for in-depth analysis of European political affairs. We publish articles on the issues shaping Europe today, from the EU–Mercosur trade agreement and Europe’s semiconductor supply chains to the European Union’s strategic shift on Syria and Serbia’s global arms trade, to name a few.
But informing readers is only part of our Mission. Euro Prospects was founded to help cultivate a European public sphere — a transnational space of political curiosity and civic engagement among Europe’s citizens. A healthy EU democracy depends on citizens who are interested and engage in EU debates shaping their future, regardless of their political convictions.
To this end, Euro Prospects offers a platform for reflection and debate on Europe’s politics, policies, and prospects, bringing together a wide team of students and young professionals from across the continent.
Euro Prospects was launched on 6 June 2022 and continues to grow as a community of writers and analysts committed to exploring Europe’s political landscape.
