On 29 and 30 October 2009, under the EU Commission’s 7th Framework Programme, the INEX Project (Conflicting and converging ethical values in the internal/external security continuum in Europe) held its Midterm Conference and Commission evaluation at CEPS in Brussels.

The Midterm Conference was held on 29 October, and the programme consisted of four interesting panels seeking to explore the internal/external security continuum in Europe through different themes.

The panels addressed the following issues: (1) Values and security technologies, (2) Policing culture in Europe, (3) Conflicting and converging legal regimes in Europe, and (4) Securing the Neighbourhood – Southern and Eastern Dimensions. Each panel engaged both the panelists and other participants in fruitful discussions afterwards. As many as 60 participants were registered to attend the Midterm Conference.

On 30 October, following the INEX Management Committee meeting, the Commission evaluation took place. All workpackages in the project were represented at both the Midterm Conference and the Commission evaluation.

The next Project Conference for INEX Project is scheduled for May 2010. More after the break.
