The Centre for Scottish Public Policy and the Young European Movement in Edinburgh are pleased to host a discussion on both devolved public policy in Scotland, and Scotland’s relationship with the European Union and the rest of the United Kingdom.
This discussion takes place with a Finnish perspective on Scottish affairs, and will host a delegation of Swedish-speaking Finnish political science students from the University of Helsinki. They will be joined by a panel of representatives from CSPP, YEM Edinburgh, and the European Movement in Scotland.
You are invited to join us for what promises to be an interesting and considered discussion on devolved policy in Scotland, and the country’s current and future relationship with the European Union and the rest of the United Kingdom.
At the beginning of the event, invited speakers will give a brief overview of their area of expertise and interest. This will be followed by audience questions and panel discussion, moderated by Event Chair, Richard Kerley.
There will not be catering at the event, however attendees may purchase refreshments at the David Hume Tower café, located in the building next to the event space.
