EUIDEA (Integration and Differentiation for Effectiveness and Accountability) is an European Project funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822622.
EU IDEA’s key goal is to address whether, how much and what form of differentiation is not only compatible with, but is also conducive to a more effective, cohesive and democratic EU. The basic claim of the project is that differentiation is not only necessary to address current challenges more effectively, by making the Union more resilient and responsive to citizens. Differentiation is also desirable as long as such flexibility is compatible with the core principles of the EU’s constitutionalism and identity, sustainable in terms of governance, and acceptable to EU citizens, Member States and affected third partners.

How to move integration forward is one of the important topics in the debate on the future of the European Union. So it will be one of the focus points of the future Conference on the Future of Europe. But the tensions that are hurting the unity of the Union make the conversation difficult. On what basis can a constructive discussion be built?
