Debates on Europe: Why the numbers matter

A panel discussion in two parts 

Admission is free, but please reserve seats in advance.

With a rapidly declining population Bulgaria is exemplary of the feeling of existential threat that characterizes many countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Here emigration is a much more acute problem than immigration. But what structures are hidden behind the numbers? How does migration change both sending and receiving countries? And is the import of well-educated doctors as well as low-skilled care workers really the solution for ageing societies in the west?

Moderator: Carl Henrik Fredriksson (SE/AT) 

1. Southeast Europe and the UK 
   Speakers: Veronica Anghel (RO) and Tim Judah (UK) 
2. Bulgaria and Germany 
   Speakers: Ognyan Georgiev (BG) and Kristof Bender (AT)
