Place of reflection and exchange, Europartners supports a society project apt to give European construction a renewed meaning.

Europartners brings together and mobilises strong supporters of the EU and officials from the political, economic, social and cultural areas in a spirit of pluralism open to all sensibilities.

The association organises debates and publishes papers on all aspects of European integration.

Founded in 1994 by Elisabeth Guigou, the association Europartners is now co-chaired by Elisabeth Guigou and Jean-Noel Jeanneney.

Dialogue is important, it facilitates a broadened exchange, which helps to find ways and means to improve the involvement of European citizens.

In view of the questions aroused by the revival of Europe, these meetings are an opportunity to clarify differences and points of convergence between Germany, France and other EU countries on the political project of the construction of a common identity in Europe. Several seminars and conferences are also organised according to the news.
  • Working Groups: under the chairmanship of a member of the Board, several experts and politicians meet regularly to formulate policy proposals. Reports are sent to political, economic and social european representatives, and to opinion leaders.
