This cycle of conferences organised in partnership with the International Herald Tribune, brings to campus keynote speakers whose contribution to the development of Europe is internationally renowned.

The conferences usually last for about 2 hours, and favour exchanges with the floor. They are free but by invitation only, with required registration. Most of them are held in French.

Participants
The ‘Europe on Campus’ conferences are intended for policy makers and business leaders: company managers, political leaders or NGOs.

Objectives
The ‘Europe on Campus’ conferences aim to be a neutral place for dialogue, in which lip service and party cleavages give way to high-level exchanges between the guest and participants.
