Born to run (and return) – a conversation with Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Pt. II
In the previous part of the interview, we followed Toomas Hendrik Ilves from his youth in the US to his work as a journalist in Munich, until he agreed to become Estonian ambassador to the US and to help rebuild his country from the ashes of Communism.

A Lynx Off the Map – a conversation with Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Pt. I
In Europe, few people have had as much impact on tech governance and the integration of the Baltic countries as Toomas Hendrik Ilves, professor of international affairs, journalist, writer, ambassador, foreign minister and former president of Estonia. His personality, his experience and his iconic bowtie made him a well-known figure on the political stage. From… The post A Lynx Off the Map – a…
Pour faire le portrait de la MEP Loiseau
Continuing my quest for “cool people of the European Parliament”, I present you Nathalie Loiseau, former diplomat, former director of ENA, former French Minister for EU affairs and much more. Loiseau’s clear and direct communication style makes her a prominent figure in European politics; I had the great pleasure to learn about her inspiring life… The post Pour faire le portrait de la MEP Loiseau…
The Diplomacy of the (Olympic) Javelins – a conversation with Baiba Braže
It is quite rare to find ministers among the politicians who share my memes on social media; Baiba Braže, incumbent Latvian minister of foreign affairs (MFA) and former ambassador, is one of them, a sign that she has some sense of humor and a very direct communication style. Braže, a career diplomat, has been minister… The post The Diplomacy of the (Olympic) Javelins – a conversation with Baiba…
Kallas of Duty – a conversation with the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs
Kaja Kallas has been high on my list of cool people to meet for a couple of years. Not only did she inspire lots of memes, but she also retweeted some of them when she was Prime Minister of Estonia. It felt very natural to talk to her: she has a very direct communication style… The post Kallas of Duty – a conversation with the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs appeared first on DG MEME…
Of Dinosaurs, Stars and Radio Receivers, a conversation with Andrius Kubilius
Defence and Space are very hot topics these days; at EU level they are energetically managed by Andrius Kubilius, a sixty-eight years old physicist and former Prime Minister of Lithuania. I had the pleasure to sit down with him and talk about his life and experiences. Were you already involved in politics as a young… The post Of Dinosaurs, Stars and Radio Receivers, a conversation with Andrius…
The nitrogen reVolt, decarbonizing ammonia production in the EU
At DG MEME we keep hearing that the EU does not invest in research and that we lose our best minds to other continents. So I decided to go out and check if this is really the case; and what we could do to improve the situation. I will collect these articles in EUREKA (European… The post The nitrogen reVolt, decarbonizing ammonia production in the EU appeared first on DG MEME .
The EU Atomic Bomb
Have you ever had that feeling of living in a continent that is not entirely ruled by insane people? Cool, then you’re probably in Europe, in Australia or in Antarctica. In a world full of mad autocrats it is only natural to worry about possessing the adequate defenses against a possible invasion; that’s why, sadly,… The post The EU Atomic Bomb appeared first on DG MEME .
Elections on thin ice – a Journey to Greenland, the Outpost of Democracy
I started reading about Greenland after it made the headlines a few months ago, and I found it very fascinating: it is one of the biggest countries in the world, but it has less than 57,000 inhabitants; Greenlanders are EU citizens through their Danish nationality, even if Greenland left the European Economic Community in 1985,… The post Elections on thin ice – a Journey to Greenland, the Outpost…
