The three-day conference brought together policy-makers and policy analysts from the EU and the UK to discuss the challenges of Brexit to European integration and to UK domestic politics and standing on the international scene. As the lone academic, as a Canadian and an Eastern European, I found myself offering the "outsider's" perspective time and time again. The highlights for me were the debate on whether Canada can offer Europe lessons on how to build a multicultural identity and the discussion of ways to address the rule of law challenges coming from some EU members.
