Former European Chief Negotiator for the UK exiting the EU and current Head of Task Force for Relations with the United Kingdom, Michel Barnier, delivered the William J. Clinton Leadership lecture at Queen’s University Belfast, days before the UK is set to leave the European Union on Friday 31 January, 2020.

The lecture was entitled Reflections on Brexit and the European Union. 

Interim Director of Queen's Management School's William J. Clinton Leadership Institute, Dr Joanne Murphy said: “We were honoured and delighted to welcome Michel Barnier to Queen’s for the William J. Clinton Leadership lecture. The Institute was established in 2010 to build strong and effective leaders who can navigate challenges and change with conviction. It was fitting and a privilege to have Michel Barnier giving his insights into Brexit and the Future of Europe to our 2020 cohort of leaders.”
