Angelika Nussberger, guest speaker for the Europe cycle

december 28, 2021

Angelika Nussberger is a jurist, professor at the University of Cologne (Germany), international judge at the Constitutional Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and former judge at the European Court of Human Rights. She will be giving a series of four lectures on the theme of "The Two Europes", from February 3 to 11, 2022, under the title " The two Europes and their constitutional traditions: a history of avoidable misunderstandings or insurmountable differences? "

His first lecture, entitled " Dialogue inachevé entre les idées constitutionnelles en Europe de l'Est et en Europe de l'Ouest " ( Unfinished dialogue between constitutional ideas in Eastern and Western Europe ), will take place on February 3, 2022 at 5 pm at the Collège de France.

The Collège de France has a long tradition of reflection on Europe. In response to the crises (economic, social, political, migratory and, more recently, health) that continue to shake Europe, and the frequently renewed calls for its "rebirth" or "refoundation", the Collège is once again engaging in debate on Europe's future in the world, through a series of lectures.

Each year, two speakers will be invited to the Collège to think about Europe, one in autumn and the other in spring, for a month-long series of four lectures. Europe is understood here in the broad sense of European studies. The cycle will welcome any historical, political, philosophical, philological, anthropological, sociological, legal, economic, literary, theological, religious or archaeological reflection on Europe as a continent, civilization, culture, idea, value(s), myth, legal order or culture, institution(s), international organization (European Union or Council of Europe) or market.

TheEurope cycle is coordinated by a committee comprising Professors Samantha Besson, Edith Heard, Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge and Thomas Römer. It is supported by the Fondation Hugot of the Collège de France.
