European Anthropology Research Chair
At the heart of global humanities
The “Chair of European Anthropology”, inaugurated alongside Institute Jacques Delors, will host European researchers on a rotating basis in conjunction with Paris IEA and The Institute Français. They will eventually be joined by an internationally renowned professor for a period of 3 to 5 years. The Notre Europe Endowment Fund has also decided to support the launch of a fundraising campaign for the “Humanités Globales” program with French and international patrons.
The principal objectives of the project will be to:
- Situate the European Question in a historical and anthropological context, in line with the challenges of the contemporary world. Europe cannot be merely an institutional construction but must be open to questioning its characteristics and its history.
- Revisit the experience of the “cultural crossroads” and develop the emerging network of European Anthropological Research Chairs.
- Note how is Europe perceived by citizens of other continents?
This chair is part of the European Studies program, with the Critical Current Affairs network of researchers and intellectuals interested in the subject of Europe, and the geopolitical studies group at the “Grand Continent” magazine.
L’Actualité critique européenne is a seminar set up since 2017 to collectively question the relationship between technocracy and democracy in the European Union, the question of the relationship between national histories and the collective European memory. It is a network of several major European universities that regularly organize major meetings on current affairs.
The Groupe d’études géopolitiques, founded in 2017 at École normale supérieure from a student initiative, publishes the magazine le Grand Continent, which reached over 4.5 million views in 2020 and 5,500 citations in major international media, working notes, policy paper reports as well as the RED (Revue européenne du droit).
Goal:
€200,000/year over 5 years to welcome an internationally renowned professor and give them the means to accomplish their work.
