It has been a privilege to lead ARENA over the past four years, and I am delighted to hand over the leadership to Pernille Rieker starting in January next year. Studying the evolving European political order – ARENA's mission for the past 30 years – is more important than ever.

And this Thursday, ARENA celebrates its 30th anniversary in Oslo! During the conference you will get a snapshot of our ongoing research, and a panel will discuss the Nordic countries' EU relations. We still have some seats left, sign up here 👇
