Since taking office in July 2024, the UK Government has pledged to ‘reset’ relations with the EU through targeted, negotiated adjustments to the post-Brexit settlement.

What can be achieved by the ‘Reset’ is limited from the outset. The UK government will seek practical gains through targeted cooperation while avoiding any reopening of the constitutional settlement wrought by Brexit. To that end, it has set clear red lines: no return to the Single Market, the Customs Union or free movement. Yet what ‘Reset’ may entail across different policy areas depends not only on the UK’s priorities and red lines, but equally on those of the EU.

This workshop will examine the terms of the UK–EU ‘Reset’, including both the agenda that has been set and the agreements and understandings negotiated so far. It will focus on the substantive areas the UK has prioritised: SPS and veterinary arrangements, climate and energy cooperation, electricity market, security and defence, migration and borders, and professional and youth mobility. It will also consider the legal, procedural and institutional pathways through which any new arrangements might be negotiated, adopted and implemented, with particular focus on the role and implications of dynamic alignment.

Panel and confirmed schedule to follow shortly.
