Overview

The Europaeum was conceived in the early 1990s by Lord (George) Weidenfeld and Sir Ronald Grierson to give future young scholars and leaders the chance to meet, discuss, and develop together a real ‘sense of Europe’. The Europaeum was to be the framework within which a group of leading European universities would strive, together, in search of new kinds of pan-European thinking, linking the brightest academic minds and young scholars.

It was also conceived as an autonomous and free-thinking body that would seek to add to the sum of knowledge and ideas in the ‘new’ Europe. Its development can be split into four phases: a successful launch period, an important period of consolidation, a phase of innovation, and now a phase of extension.
