THE EUROPAEUM Organization

The Europaeum logo
Today rather than letters, will be an association The Europaeum. The Europaeum is an organisation of ten leading European universities.
It was conceived of in 1990–1991 by Lord Weidenfeld and Sir Ronnie Grierson to support the advancement of education through the encouragement of European studies in the University of Oxford and other European institutions of higher education having links with Oxford
 for the movement of academic staff and students between these institutions; and for the study of the languages, history, cultures and professions of the people of Europe.


The Europaeum runs one joint MA Programme in European History and Civilization. Partner universities in this programme are the University of Leiden, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the University of Oxford. The Europaeum also organizes summerschools and conferences. Europaeum Visiting Professors teach at partner institutions.
It was written that the members are leading European universities. But as for me it should be established - leading universities of the member countries.We see that the Member Universities are centers of higher rated and lower rated in Europe and worldwide.
