Welcome to The Future of Europe Podcast. A production by The European Network.

Europe is at a crossroads and there are many predictions as to what direction it will take and in this podcast, we will look at key issues that will affect the European sphere in the next decade. 

Our podcast covers the big topics that will affect the future of the nations that inhabit the European continent. 

We will also bring an uniquely Irish perspective, and address how the smaller European states are going to progress by using Ireland as benchmark. Our guests will be from many different walks of life and backgrounds, each bringing their perspective on how the Europe of today will become the Europe of tomorrow.
