The 'Europaeum' is a loose organisation of ten leading
European
universities. It was conceived of in 1990-1991 by
Lord Weidenfeld and Sir
Ronnie Grierson to support the ‘advancement of education through the encouragement of European studies in the
University of Oxford and other European institutions of higher education having links with Oxford’; for ‘the movement of academic staff and students between these institutions’; and for ‘the study of the languages, history, cultures and professions of the people of Europe’. The Europaeum runs one joint MA Programme in European History and Civilization. Partner universities in this programme are the
University of Leiden,
Panthéon-Sorbonne University of Paris and the
University of Oxford. The Europaeum also organizes summerschools and conferences. Europaeum Visiting Professors teach at partner institutions.
Secretary-General of the Europaeum is Dr.
Paul Flather.
