📺 Public service media in a changing landscape

It was a pleasure to welcome Iain Bundred, Director for Policy and Public Affairs at the , to Europe House today, together with representatives of EU Member States.

As one of the world’s leading public service broadcasters, the BBC continues to evolve in a fast-changing media environment shaped by new technologies and shifting audience expectations. Many of these developments are relevant across Europe.

💬Today’s discussion provided a valuable opportunity to exchange views on common trends, including how public service media can continue to engage audiences and adapt in the digital age.

Thank you, Iain Bundred, for this timely and insightful exchange 👏

EU Ambassador Pedro Serrano and Leader Sir at Europe House, exchanging views on the value of strong EU-UK cooperation 🇪🇺🤝🇬🇧

The 9th meeting of the European Affairs Societies Network brought together student societies from across the UK that share a passion for European cooperation.

EU Ambassador Pedro Serrano welcomed participants and highlighted the important role young people play in shaping the future of EU–UK relations, particularly in areas such as science and technology.

We were also delighted to welcome three new members to the network: Aberystwyth University, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Greenwich. With their addition, the network now brings together 36 student societies across the UK.

The meeting also marked the conclusion of the 2025/26 academic year. Outgoing committees handed over to their successors, graduating members joined the alumni network, and participants reflected on the network’s achievements over the past year.

European Affairs Societies are student-led organisations based at universities from Aberdeen to Cambridge, bringing discussions on European affairs to campuses across the UK. Interested in joining the network? Send us a DM to learn more and get involved.

We were honoured to welcome Sviatlana Tsihanouskaya, leader of the Belarusian democratic forces, to Europe House.

Political Counsellors received a briefing from Alexander Vashkevich, former Justice of the Constitutional Court of Belarus, on the concept for reform of Belarus’s Constitutional Court. The discussion explored key principles and possible pathways to strengthen constitutional oversight and the rule of law in a future democratic Belarus.

The EU stands — and will continue to stand — with the people of Belarus in support of a free and democratic future as part of a peaceful Europe.
