The general aim of the seminar is to discuss the effects of the introduction of the Single Currency on the development of citizenship of the Union. It implies taking into account different factors, related to some of the multiple links between the European Single Currency and citizenship of the Union:

· The construction of a European identity;

· The facilitation of the freedom of movement;

· The protection of consumers’ rights;

· The strengthening of economic interdependence and the links between the actors of the European economic space;

· The strengthening of Community institutions.

The very purpose of the seminar is to consider these dimensions as parts of a whole, using citizenship as a general point of view, rather than focusing on single issues or single scientific approaches.

The seminar will involve mainly scholars belonging to different disciplines, but is also open to policy makers and practitioners. It will start at 10:30 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m.

The seminar will be held in English. For any further information, please contact: m.ruffa@fondaca.org
