2016/17 (2019): Europa - Realität und Vision

Europe the woman, Europe the house. Europe as a dream, hope and necessity. Europe has many faces and there are many different parables for what Europe and what the European Union is and should be. The University of Heidelberg has invited scientists from various disciplines to comment on the subject of "Europe - Reality and Vision" within the framework of the Studium Generale, focusing on different aspects such as minorities and civil rights, migration, Germany's role in the European integration process or the common foreign and security policy after the Brexit referendum. The view from Russia to the European Union as well as Chinese and European perspectives on each other releases a wealth of historical conditions, images and role models, whose effectiveness should not be underestimated. The plea for a new foundation of Europe is thought-provoking.
