Tune in to the latest episode of the Found in Conversation podcast, where we explore the current state of Europe and contemplate potential future scenarios for the European project, as well as the continent's broader role on the global stage. Hear from Frederik Ducrozet, Head of Macroeconomic Research at Pictet Wealth Management, Professor Timothy Garton Ash, Oxford Professor and Baroness Catherine Ashton former European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Professor Timothy Garton Ash
Professor Timothy Garton Ash was 17 when Britain joined the European Community and 64 when Britain left it. In the intervening years he has lived and breathed European politics, witnessing some of the most dramatic scenes in its history, interviewing many of its key players and analysing how life has evolved for ordinary Europeans across the breadth of the continent. He is Professor of European Studies at the University of Oxford and a columnist for the Guardian. He has won many prizes and plaudits for his journalism and books, including The File, his riveting autobiographical account of investigating the contents of his Stasi file after the fall of East Germany.
Baroness Catherine Ashton
Baroness Catherine Ashton served as the European Union’s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy from 2009 to 2014, and the first female EU Commissioner for Trade. She is a life peer and former Leader of the House of Lords, and served as a UK government minister in the Education and Justice departments. She is a Distinguished Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC and a consultant to the Geneva-based Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue.
