Celebrating more than a decade of thought-provoking discussions, the 2024 edition of CEPS Ideas Lab returned rejuvenated and reimagined over two days from 4 to 5 March. For its 11th edition, CEPS went back to basics with a key focus on what is it that makes Ideas Lab unique – presenting innovative ideas that spur European policymaking forward and help CEPS to fulfil its guiding mantra: to think ahead for Europe (and the world).
Alongside hard-hitting plenary sessions featuring high-level speakers from academia, institutions and the private sector, we organised 24 dynamic, interactive closed-door sessions and mostly without the use of slides or other audiovisual supports. 8 of these 24 sessions were dedicated to brand new ideas to be considered by policymakers, including the new EU leaders that will begin their mandates towards the end of 2024. The result was unprecedented levels of dynamism in our conversations, and sparks of absolute creativity.
