The Heart of Europe
The recent upheavals and tensions in the EU and the uncertainty over the EU’s final frontier are posing fundamental questions at the intersection of philosophy, politics, sociology, economics, literature and intellectual history. The idea of a distinctive ‘European identity’ belongs at the heart of the idea of Europe itself. However, in a time when Europe citizens, the idea of a common European identity seems less secure than ever. It is in response to the profoundly uncertain situation of contemporary European life that we seek to engage in a deliberately multidisciplinary way with questions concerning the Heart of Europe.

This event is held in association with the European Cultural Foundation, Nuffield Foundation and BP plc.
