The conference entitled “The Future of Europe” is an outstanding cultural and scientific event of the V4 Hungarian Presidency - 2017/18. It represents an extraordinary opportunity to analyse the full array of political and cultural processes as well as to put our identity-creating cultural values in the limelight which, in addition to contributing to shape the present and the future of Europe, the most exciting and most lively scene of our civilisation, also define the elbow room of the countries of Central Europe within and beyond the European Union.
During our conference, leading politicians, renowned professors and well-known public figures will share their views with each other and with an audience of visitors. The Visegrad Group is destined to play a prominent role in shaping the future of our Continent, which is why a large number of keynote contributors will arrive from V4 countries, and will be joined by lecturers arriving from elsewhere in Europe and the Western hemisphere.
Food for thought
All the participants of our conference practice professions that actively involve them in political, economic and cultural matters that define the future of Europe. Consequently, the five panel discussions revolve around these fundamental issues. Please consider the following questions as food for thought in order to promote in depth discussions.
Culture Wars, Clashes of Cultures in Europe Is the war for Europe’s body and soul a winnable one? Can we defeat censorship, the shaming of those who think differently, the increasing cultural self-hatred in Europe? Are the remains of Europe’s social fiber still savable or is the European lifestyle doomed to change irreversibly? What is, if there is, the secret to the vitality of Central and Eastern European countries? Do they stand a chance of preserving their values?
Migration, Resettlement and the Future of Europe
Will Europe become the new melting pot? Shall we, out of cultural guilt or simple calculation, sacrifice Christianity, freedom and our way of life? Or should we retreat to our fortress, defend ourselves and strengthen our values and cohesion within? Is the creation of the New European Man realistic through migration?
Geopolitical Challenges -A European Army, NATO and the Borders of Europe
With the UK leaving the Union, we shall face a new situation, and make important decisions: where do we define the borders of Europe? What is the ambition of the EU? With whom shall we compete and with whom to cooperate? Do we need a European army and if so, will it consist of soldiers or machines and algorithms? What threatens and what guarantees the safety and security of European citizens today and in 2030 and in 2050?
Is Artificial Intelligence our Future?
Digitalization has allowed us to create extremely complicated structures; it makes everything faster and connects all with all. Today machine learning and artificial intelligence threaten only the jobs of our lower middle class; tomorrow, it may radically transform humanity’s own identity or even our physical existence. While we create ever faster internet connections and self-driving vehicles, technology transforms us, too: our health, our way of life and even the way how we make war. Can human stay human? Will soldiers be needed in the wars of the future? What prevents AI from bringing the Apocalypse to mankind?
Visegrad Four – the Engine of Europe’s Economy - Economic Development: SME, Foreign Trade, Emerging Markets; The Economy of the Future – Megatrends, Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Central Europe
What opportunities do the emerging giants of the world economy, i.e. China, India or Indonesia present for us? Does geographical position matter? What is the secret of successful economic policies? Will our region be able to jump several stairs at once and make Europe become a leading force in the future world economy?

The Future of Europe an international conference
Castle Garden Bazaar
1013 Budapest, Ybl Miklós tér 4.
No other venue could have been more suitable to foster the Visegrad Cooperation than the beautifully renovated building complex at the bank of the Danube, which has been the home of various exhibitions and events since its reopening in 2014. The Castle Garden Bazaar (Várkert Bazár), located at the foot of Buda Castle District, one of the most significant locations in Hungarian history, provides a venue with a unique blend of past and present, culture and entertainment, hence, it accommodates the V4 HQ, the headquarters of the Hungarian Presidency of the V4 for a reason. The multifunctional event hall, which is able to accommodate up to 500 people, is undoubtedly the perfect venue for such an internationally distinguished conference.

„Our shared secrets” – photo exhibition at the Hybridart Space gallery
(Photo: Markó Luca Zsófia)
The exhibition entitled „Our shared secrets” has opened featuring the photographs of István Gyarmati at the Hybridart Space gallery.
The exhibition organized within the framework of the Hungarian Presidency of the Visegrad Group 2017/2018 was opened by Szabolcs Erdélyi, the managing director of Hybridart Space. The welcoming remarks were given by Gábor Tallai, the Program Director of the House of Terror Museum.
As Gábor Tallai observed, street art photography, a renowned genre of photography, has managed to establish a tradition. The photos of István Gyarmati point out the shared characteristics, the common heritage of the V4 countries. The programme director emphasized that the Public Foundation for Research on Central and Eastern European History and Society was the organizing body of the scientific and cultural programme series of the presidency of the V4, therefore they invited István Gyarmati to shoot this photo series.

Through his personal journey, the artist discovered the shared characteristics of these cultures and presented them from his own point of view. As Gábor Tallai put it „there is more that unites this region then what divides it. This photo series was meant to justify this connection.”
The opening ceremony was concluded with the artist discussing his own experiences related to this photo series. István Gyarmati admitted that this task has meant a significant challenge for him, as it was the first time for him to visit some of these countries.
He added that he did not intend to include the famous sights of these cities, he was devoted to find his own themes and inspirations for the photographs. He selected the final set of twenty-two photos out of twelve thousand photographs, half of which can be seen in Hybridart Space gallery and the other half has been exhibited by the Nick Art & Design in Pécs.

V4 Operetta Gala held at Müpa Budapest
The presidency of the Visegrad Cooperation 2017/2018 is being concluded this Saturday by the V4 Operetta Gala to be held in Müpa featuring the emblematic works of the operetta literature of the Central European region.
Andrea Rost Hungarian soprano, Katarzyna Kuncio Polish mezzo-soprano, Richard Samek Czech tenor and Clemens Unterreiner Austrian baritone accompanied by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra will be presenting the greatest operetta classics to the audience – according to a press release of Müpa sent to MTI.
» more
Operetta is a multinational genre, yet it would not be wrong to say that the operettas of Central and Eastern Europe represent a particularly rich vein of shared cultural treasures for the peoples of the region. The programme for this gala concert features a selection of these hits, many of which remain popular to this day such as from Ferenc Lehár’s most ambitious work, Giuditta, the Merry Widow, the Land of Smiles, the Riviera Girl or better known as the Csárdás Princess to Strauss’ masterpiece the Gypsy Baron.
The Hungarian soprano Andrea Rost rapidly conquered the opera houses of the world - from the Vienna Staatsoper to La Scala in Milan, and from the New York Metropolitan Opera to Japan. Her repertoire extends from legendary Mozart works to Rigoletto's Gilda, and now even includes the title roles of Madama Butterfly and Tosca. The other heroine of the evening, the Polish mezzo-soprano Katarzyna Kuncio has been a member of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein company since 2004 and is a genuine master of trouser roles, such as Cherubino, Octavian and the opera fairy tale character of Hansel.
The young Czech tenor, Richard Samek made his debut in Brno in 2006 and has soon become celebrated by Czech and Slovak opera audiences, but is also recognised by those of Germany and France. The young Czech tenor frequently features in operetta performances from the Mörbisch Lakeside Festival to Dresden. The Austrian baritone Clemens Unterreiner has been a member of the Vienna State Opera since 2005. His operatic repertoire ranges all the way to contemporary composers and includes lyrical, German, Italian and French helden roles. He also performs in oratorios and song recitals, and often takes the stage in operettas.
The programme is organised on behalf of the Public Foundation for Research on Central and Eastern European History and Society within the framework of the Hungarian Presidency of the Visegrad Group 2017/2018. On Saturday, the last day of the presidency, various free programmes will be available to the public ranging from puppet-shows for children, handicraft workshops, film screenings, open-air concerts and the guests will be able to sample various culinary delights from the V4 countries at both venues. Free boat rides will be available between MÜPA and Várkert Bazár all day.

Young Visegrad Photography Exhibition organized by Müpa Budapest
Concluding the Hungarian Presidency of the V4 in June 2018 the fresh art graduates of the four Visegrad countries had a unique opportunity to present themselves in Budapest.

Altogether seven higher education institutions of the V4 countries take part in the programme and the works of 15 fresh graduates have been selected for the exhibition. The unique feature of the exhibition is, that even though the highly prestigious universities follow different methods in educating their artists, they may become the leading and defining figures of the art scene of the V4 in the near future, thus their visual approach may be identified with this region by the wider audiences around the world.
The curator of the exhibition of Young Visegrad Photography photographer Gábor Kudász Arion attempted to arrange the works of these young artists to create a context that reflects the characteristically Central and Eastern European way of thinking in approaching global phenomena and tendencies beside demonstrating the national characteristics, the different methods in education, and the individual universes of the artists.
The exhibition was organized by the Public Foundation for Research on Central and Eastern European History and Society in partnership with Art Photo Budapest, which has played a decisive role in promoting the photography of this region in the past five years. An outstanding artistic program titled Visegrad Contemporary is dedicated to art from the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland) at the Art Market Budapest 2018 International Contemporary Art Fair, the only photography fair of Central and Eastern Europe. It focuses on the outstanding merits of the Visegrad countires in photography and creates an opportunity for the artistic educational institutions to cooperate.

Mária Schmidt: The EU needs renewal and reforms
The European Union has become outdated both in terms of its structure and its mission – observed Mária Schmidt, the Director-General of the House of Terror Museum at the panel discussion titled Geopolitical challenges held in the framework of the international conference series at the Castel Garden Bazaar titled the Future of Europe.
The 21st century, the one we are in, is not the continuation of the 20th century. „Those who are trying to picture the tasks of our age in relation to the 20th century are all mistaken” – stressed Mária Schmidt, and added that „we have found ourselves in completely different circumstances in the 21st century”.
The Director-General referred to the EU as outdated regarding its structure and its mission and added that „for this reason, it is beyond doubt that the EU needs to be reformed and renewed. According to her, the reason for this is the fact that the EU had been brought to life by the Cold War, and once it was over „it has become necessary to reconsider its role and status”.

He said that „its extent and its significance is still unclear” and added that „there have been very few changes in the world that compare to its extent and intensity”. He emphasized that digital transformation does not equal technological transformation, it is just one if the driving forces, main representations.

The Visegrád Group needs to have more courage and determination in geopolitical questions – remarked Václav Klaus, the former president of the Czech Republic on Thursday at the international conference titled the Future of Europe in Budapest.

Stephen K. Bannon: Trump’s America First and its impact on Central Europe
Following the welcoming remarks of Gergely Gulyás the former Chief Strategist of Donald Trump’s campaign held a lecture with the title Trump’s America First and its impact on Central Europe as part of the József Eötvös Lecture series held each year. In his lecture he stressed that “Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert it and destroy it?”
“Eight months later,” Bannon continued, “the people of Hungary gave us an answer – overwhelming victory for Viktor Orbán. He added: „We really don't have a political opposition today, we have a media opposition.”
For some of them „liberal democracy worked fine for the 40 or 50 years when they were winning elections” All the sudden, when they started losing, we were „all authoritarians, mini dictators” - commented Stephen K. Bannon. „The American people… liked President Obama personally, but they do not believe Obama delivered the change that the country needs. 75% of the American people for the first time believed America was in decline.” „The working class and the middle class in the United States of America are not prepared to support the Democrats, only the elite – he concluded.
