\n\nOn 28 May 202 1\, InDivEU researchers had the chance to present the preliminary results of their research to members and officials from the three groups of the Eu ropean Economic and Social Committee.
\nProf. Brigid Laffan (Europea n University Institute\, InDivEU coordinator) presented the InDivEU projec t to the EESC members. She outlined InDivEU’s building blocks\, underlinin g that the project is designed and build on a bottom-up approach with four main elements: 1) Foundations of Differentiated Integration\, 2) Evolutio n\, 3) Zooming-in in particular policy areas\, 4) Policy Advice and Design s on DI.
\nProf. Frank Schimmelfennig (ETH Zurich\, InDivEU scientif i lead) provided an overview of the causes and consequences of Differentia ted Integration (DI). He presented the distinction between Internal Differ entiation (member states do not participate in all EU policies) and Exter nal Differentiation (non-member states participate in individual EU polici es). Prof Schimmelfennig then explained different patterns of the DI: Mul ti-speed integration (differentiation is temporary)\, Multi-tier integrat ion (durable\, core vs. periphery countries) and Multi-menu integration ( durable\, varying groups of members across policies). He underlined that\ , according to his research\, there are two sorts of heterogeneity that dr ive DI: 1) based on different economic preferences and capacities and 2) b ased on different ideological preferences and identities.
\nProf. Ca therine De Vries (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Università Bocconi) gav e a presentation on public preferences for Differentiated Integration. Whe n it comes to DI preferences and their drivers\, her research investigates determinants of those preferences and examines if patterns in public opin ion are mirrored by political parties and governments.
\nGiulia Bona cquisti (Trans European Policy Studies Association) presented the findings of a consultation that were conducted within the InDivEu project among na tional stakeholders in 7 EU Member States (Estonia\, Finland\, France\, th e Netherlands\, Poland\, Slovakia\, and Spain). The aim was to gather insi ghts from the national stakeholders on DI with a particular focus on 3 dim ensions: feasibility\, desirability and sustainability of DI. These consul tations involved a wide range of national stakeholders like policy makers and servants\, academics\, business and interest groups\, media and civil society. Methods used were participatory workshops\, brainstorming groups\ , real-time polls\, surveys.
\nThe presentations were followed by a discussion with members of the EESC about the pros and cons of Differenti ated Integration and its implications for the Future of Europe.

\n\nOn 15 Novembe r 2021\, TEPSA and its Slovenian member institute\, the Centre for Interna tional Relations at the University of Ljubljana\, organised a closed-door online discussion between InDivEU project researchers and Slovenian public officials and policy makers.. This event is part of a series of InDivEU d ialogues with national policy makers\, coordinated by the Trans European P olicy Studies Association (TEPSA). These dialogues serve to ensure that In DivEU findings and recommendations are brought to the attention of nationa l policymakers.
\nAt the event\, Dr. Paolo Chiocchetti (European Uni versity Institute) introduced the main findings and recommendations of the InDivEU project\, including an overview of the past and future trends whe re he stressed that the level of differentiation is likely to either stagn ate or increase with enlargement and / or Eurosceptic public opinions and governments. Dr. Maja Bučar presented the key findings of the Slovenian co untry case. The presentations were followed by a discussion that focused m ainly on how to address heterogeneity between preferences\, capacities and interests of Member States\, and how to understand the relationship betwe en differentiated integration and other tools such as subsidiarity.
