It has been 30 years since Austria, Finland and Sweden organised their respective European Union (EU) referenda that led to the accession of the three countries in 1995. Now enlargement is back as a major issue on the EU’s agenda. However, different Member States continue to have diverging preferences, priorities and concerns regarding the enlargement process. How does the accession trio of 1995 position itself in today’s enlargement debates and how have their policies evolved in recent years? Are there any shared views that could serve as building blocks for broader EU consensus – or are we witnessing three separate national perspectives that underline the EU’s lack of unity? The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) and the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE)/Europa Club Wien, brought together experts from Austria, Finland and Sweden to discuss the three countries’ views on EU enlargement in a dedicated online discussion on 5 December 2024 at 9:30 CET / 10:30 EET. The event was hosted on Zoom and livestreamed on TEPSA’s YouTube channel. Speakers included: - Dr. Calle Håkansson, Researcher at the Swedish Defence Research Agency’s Division for Defence Analysis & Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute for International Affairs (UI); - Tyyne Karjalainen, Researcher in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA); - Paul Schmidt, Secretary General, Austrian Society for European Politics (OEGfE) & editor of the ‘Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’ series; - Moderated by Dr. Sanna Salo, Post-Doctoral Fellow in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA). This online discussion reflected on the findings of TEPSA’s latest book ‘Enlargement and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’, co-edited by Michael Kaeding, Johannes Pollak, and Paul Schmidt, and published by Springer. The book gathers over 60 leading experts in 41 European countries to examine how different national histories, policies, and corresponding public perceptions can influence engagement with the EU enlargement process. It is part of an annual series coordinated by TEPSA examining important European themes from national perspectives.

Kaminsky Architects’ project exemplifies a commitment to redefining housing with a focus on climate positivity. This not-for-profit initiative uses sustainable design and construction methods, including materials delivered by train and no plastic use. Future residents, who crowdfunded the project, will live in small, all-wood buildings powered entirely by solar panels. The design fosters community life with shared spaces for growing food and pooling electric bikes and cars. The project meets Target 11.1 for adequate, safe, and affordable housing, achieving a 20% cost saving.

Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm is Sweden's first energy community, established in 2023 as a pioneering model of sustainable urban living. Initiated by a collaboration between the City of Stockholm, local businesses, and academic institutions, the project involves nine housing cooperatives, with hopes to eventually include over 20,000 residents. The community focuses on utilising #renewableenergy sources such as #solar panels, battery storage and virtual #electricity sharing, though current Swedish legislation poses challenges to this vision. Supported by the European RESCHOOL project, Hammarby Sjöstad is working to standardise data and develop a smart grid, aiming to improve energy efficiency and resident engagement through tools like the Local Life app. This initiative empowers residents to participate in the energy transition while striving to make Hammarby Sjöstad climate-positive by 2030, serving as an example of innovation, community collaboration, and sustainable urban development.
