A spring university in partnership

UEF France, UEF  and Young Europeans - France are teaming up to organise conferences with leading academics to explore the issues of welcoming new member states, building defence and diplomacy, and the goals to be given to a European Federation.
To fight against abstention and the rise of nationalism, our associations are convinced of the need to conduct a quality debate on European issues and in particular to propose a federal vision for Europe in 2050.

Proposing a vision for the future of Europe
By presenting concrete proposals and organising debates between the main candidates in the European elections in France, we aspire to develop a federalist vision for Europe in 2050.
