Europe In The World Lecture

The Europe in the World Lecture is the second of the two major lectures organised by iCES during the academic year. Whereas the Jean Monnet Memorial Lecture is dedicated to a specific European topic, the Europe in the World Lecture emphasises the relation and dynamic interaction of Europe with the rest of the world.

The Europe in the World Lecture represents a continuation of the former International Lecture, the first of which took place in 1996.
