Imparting skills for decision making and action with a view to Europe is at the centre of our educational offer: Our seminars, meetings and conferences aim to furnish a good basis of information, which enables our participants to act constructively and critically in, together with and in favour of Europe. Each year we welcome about 9,000 guests from all over Europe and the world to our events. "Come together to create Europe" is therefore more than just our motto; it is lived reality.
