    Parliamentary Voices on the Future of Europe Digital Conference 28 and 29 May 2019 https://www.regioparl.com/parliamentary-voices-on-the-future-of-europe/?lang=en Conference Report © Picture: European Parliament 1 Conference Report Parliamentary Voices on the Future of Europe Digital Conference, 28 & 29 May 2020 Governance in Europe is built on a diverse multi-level parliamentary system, making parliaments at all levels – European, national, and subnational – key actors in the functioning of any democratic political process involving the future of Europe. This is why parliaments took centre stage in the two-day digital conference, which brought together academics and policy makers from all political levels – European, national, and subnational – in order to encourage an exchange of views between politics and academia. The event touched upon various issues of parliamentary involvement in the European Union (EU), such as the democratic legitimacy of EU politics, parliamentary scrutiny of European policies and Europeanisation of national and subnational parliaments. Aiming at fostering a debate between research and politics, it brought together a number of outstanding experts from academia and politics, who contributed to very insightful and lively debates on (1) the current state of play of parliamentary voices in the EU and (2) opportunities and obstacles for a strengthening of parliamentary voices in the future of the EU, in general, and in the upcoming EU Conference on the Future of Europe to be kicked-off in autumn, in particular. This conference report presents a summary of the various programme points, including keynotes and Q&A sessions as well as panel discussions and roundtables.
