When José Manuel Barroso became president of the European Commission in 2004, he made it clear that boosting Europe's economic competitiveness would be his overriding priority.
Since then, much as that priority has been eclipsed by energy and climate change, growth in the eurozone has picked up. Unemployment has fallen steadily, while enlargement has brought a new economic dynamism.
Yet competitive pressures from India, China and other emerging economies are unrelenting. And the United States continues to be better than Europe at innovating and creating jobs.
Through its 'Innovation and Competitiveness' strand, The Centre is working to focus minds and stimulate debate on some of the key issues at stake as Europe struggles with the challenge of economic and social reform.
Below are some recent events hosted by The Centre in its Competitiveness and Innovation Strand:
EU-US Comparative Law Roundtable
Higher Education and Europe's Knowledge Cities
EU Law and Sport. A half-time analysis
Booklaunch 'The EC Law of Competition'
Is Multinational R&D Heading East?
