In the evening of Tuesday 1st October, EIF will host a special Welcome Reception for the new European Parliament. Hosted by the EIF Chair Pilar del Castillo MEP, the event will not only be an occasion to discuss key take-aways from the EIF report 'The Digital World toward 2040 - The rise of AI and Intelligent Autonomy' with the author, but also to hear about digital policy priorities for the new mandate from European Commission's point of view.

The occasion is open to all EIF members and will be also a timely opportunity to introduce the Forum to newly elected MEPs. Join us to (re)connect, discuss digital policy priorities and celebrate with us the start of a new political term.
