For this second Conversations on Europe, join our experts for an interactive virtual roundtable discussion on a "Free Movement in the Time of COVID: The Economics and Ethics of Digital Vaccine Passports."

As Europe recovers from COVID-19, the question of the viability of vaccine passports arises. This roundtable will address the ethical, legal, and digital plausibility of digital vaccine passports for travel across state borders in Europe. Our experts will try to answers the following questions: What does free movement mean in the time of COVID? How might we understand differences in public health policy with regards to vaccine mandates and vaccine passports across Europe and how does that compare to the U.S.?
