DESCRIPTION:On January 20\, 2026\, Ursula von der Leyen\, President of the
  European Commission\, called for “a new form of European consciousness
 ” at the World Economic Forum in Davos\, highlighting energy\, defense\,
  and access to raw materials as areas of particular concern. While the goa
 l of more European self-reliance and autonomy sounds desirable in theory\,
  several fundamental questions arise about how it can be put into practice
 : How independent can Europe truly be in an era of unprecedented global in
 tegration? What does “European independence” mean in the context of th
 e intensifying U.S.–China rivalry that is (re)shaping world politics in 
 the 21st century? What political\, economic\, financial\, and social costs
  might a more independent Europe entail? \nTo explore these and other pres
 sing questions and think about the role Europe should play in the emerging
  new world order\, distinguished experts on Europe’s relations with both
  the United States and China will join us for a panel discussion.
