Established in 2015 in a joint project between the UCL and the UAntwerp at the initiative of Baron Velge, the Chair in European Values: Discourses and Prospects is dedicated to the study of European values. At a moment when the European Union’s foundations are put into question – with a barely tamed monetary crisis, a divisive refugee crisis and the political crisis of citizens’ disenchantment – it seems more urgent than ever to examine what unites, and can unite, the peoples living within the Union, culturally politically and historically. This requires acknowledging a threefold reality: the irreducible plurality of Europe’s nations, an underlying civilizational unity, and the necessity in today’s globalised world for the countries of Europe to strengthen their bonds.
