May 14 - 17: "European Union Week" at TUM

How can diversity in the EU become a strength?

The differences within the European Union have recently become more evident than ever before, in most cases in the form of conflicts. How can this diversity be turned into a strength? To discuss this issue, the TUM School of Management is hosting the second "European Union Week" with guests from Hungary and Greece. The opening address will be held on May 14 by Nadja Hirsch, MEP.<br /><br />
