Today we welcomed Canada’s ambassador to the EU, @Ailish_Campbell, on our campus in Bruges.

She spoke to our students about Canada-EU cooperation on security, trade, climate, and much more. She also met the young diplomats from the @EUDiploAcademy and answered their questions.

Très heureux et ému de retrouver #Bruges, le Collège d’Europe, ses étudiantes et étudiants.

Il y a quelques années, j’étais à votre place. Ici, vous verrez que l’on peut enrichir son identité au contact des autres et que l’Europe mérite de grands combats, comme l’écologie ! 🇫🇷🇪🇺

Our #SOTEU debate is an event that makes the experience at the College unique.

Last night students challenged with great questions Rector @FedericaMog and Prof @oliviercosta, who provided a unique blend of academic insights and first-hand political experience on the speech.

“Technologies provide the options, society chooses the future” - great words by Energy Minister @TinneVdS at yesterday's @ClimateChair event.

Good to learn 🇧🇪's top priorities for the future energy system:
⚡ 5,8GW of offshore
💪 resilient RES value chain
💰 grid investments

"To ensure our transition, legislation design is important, but implementing it is even more essential. Members States need to invest more in local authorities to facilitate implementation of EU law."

"If there is one element blocking companies' green transition, it would that the implementation for each small locality is different and complex. We need to ensure harmonisation and avoid fragmentation at any costs."

I'm delighted to be attending today's @ClimateChair Annual Conference.

It's encouraging to see that renewable energy development & protecting the environment can go hand in hand.

We do it right by embracing renewables while safeguarding nature & advancing social inclusion.
