The Summit on the Future of Europe is a partnership of Harvard’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies and the Berggruen Institute on Governance. It was launched to convene scholars and policymakers at Harvard University in order to deepen the debate on critical challenges facing Europe, as well as generate ideas that support effective policy responses.
