Let's relive together through a few photos two days spent at the Maison Jean Monnet in Bazoches-sur-Guyonne (France), marked by a tribute to José María Gil-Robles, former President of the European Parliament (1997-1999) and President of our Foundation (2009-2014). Our President, Pat Cox, former President of the European Parliament, and our Director, Gilles Grin, spoke at the emotional two-day conference. The archivist in charge, Vincent Bezençon, was also present. The discussions, in which one of President Gil-Robles' children and a number of young people also took part, focused on the memory of José María Gil-Robles and the issues facing Europe today.

    [post_content] => 

On 27 December 2023, Jacques Delors, who was President of the European Commission from 1985 to 1995, passed away.

Jacques Delors was a beneficent giant of European history. He played a fundamental role in projects such as the completion of the internal market, the development of a Europe-wide social policy, the increase in the Community budget, the introduction of Erasmus and the euro, and the European response to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thanks to him, Europeans are closer together. His ideals and his achievements for the common good of Europeans are quite simply extraordinary.

Jacques Delors was made an honorary citizen of Europe by the European Council in 2015, following in the footsteps of Jean Monnet (1976) and Helmut Kohl (1998).

The Foundation is deeply saddened by his death. All the more so as Jacques Delors was a member of the Foundation's Board.

During the national tribute ceremony held in Paris on 5 January 2024, at the invitation of the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron, our President Pat Cox, former President of the European Parliament, represented the Foundation.

Visit of Presidents Macron and Berset to the Jean Monnet Foundation, 16.11.2023

On 16 November 2023, the Jean Monnet Foundation was honoured to receive the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and the President of the Swiss Confederation, Alain Berset, for a visit to its archives as part of the State visit. The visit preceded a conference given by the two presidents at the University of Lausanne.

Presidents Macron and Berset were warmly welcomed by Christelle Luisier Brodard, President of the Council of State of the Canton of Vaud; Pat Cox, President of the Jean Monnet Foundation and former President of the European Parliament; Frédéric Herman, Rector of the University of Lausanne; Gilles Grin, Director of the Jean Monnet Foundation; Jacques de Watteville, Vice-President of the Jean Monnet Foundation and former Secretary of State of the Swiss Confederation; and Dominique de Buman, member of the Executive Council of the Jean Monnet Foundation and former President of the Swiss Federal Parliament.

During a guided tour of the archives, the two presidents and their delegation were able to discover a number of emblematic items showing the decisive importance of the work of Jean Monnet (1888-1979) in bringing people together. Jean Monnet played a major role in the Allied war effort during the two world wars and in the reconstruction and modernisation of the French economy after the Second World War. He was the designer and first President of the first European Coal and Steel Community. In 1976, he became Europe's first honorary citizen, and his ashes have rested in the Panthéon since 1988. In addition to archive items relating to Jean Monnet, the Foundation also highlighted during the visit certain posters drawn from a brand new exceptional collection of 5,000 items.

Since its creation in 1978 by Jean Monnet, the Foundation has been a living memory and a forum for reflection and discussion on the various facets of the major issues involved in building Europe and Switzerland's place in Europe. The Foundation is a purely non-profit-making, non-militant and non-partisan institution. Its activities are made possible by the support of the State of Vaud, the Swiss Confederation, the City of Lausanne and the University of Lausanne.

The Foundation is pleased to present a new virtual exhibition, dedicated to several personalities who worked alongside Jean Monnet from the Second World War until the end of the Action Committee for the United States of Europe in 1975.

This exhibition has several objectives. Firstly, to pay tribute to these sometimes little-known personalities, but also to highlight the documents held in our archives. Finally, we hope to give an insight into the daily work carried out by Jean Monnet's collaborators, work that is sometimes very down-to-earth, but which is nonetheless crucial to the progress of the European project.

For display reasons and to get the most out of the documents, we recommend that you visit the exhibition on a computer. We hope you enjoy browsing through this exhibition as much as we enjoyed designing it!

Access to the Archive web portal

 

Since 2005, the Foundation has undertaken to digitise its archives to allow easy access and consultation by researchers from all over the world. Since the end of 2021, these documents as well as the archive inventories are accessible on the web via a web portal developed by the Foundation.

Access to the documents

The public access to the portal allows to consult the description of the archives and to search in the inventories and the content of the digitised documents.
In order to consult the documents themselves, all you have to do is request them at archives@fjme.unil.ch. The Foundation's team of archivists will be happy to send you an access key and guide you in your research.
You can fill in this form, sign it and send a PDF scan when you make your request.

A portal in constant evolution

Putting old archives and inventories online represents a significant amount of work for the Foundation's archive team. The portal is regularly updated with new descriptions and documents.
The process is partly automated. Therefore, in spite of our proofreading, it is possible that typos slip through in our entries or that documents are difficult to read. If you have difficulty in deciphering documents or notice any errors, please let us know. This will help to improve the quality of the portal for the entire research community.

Infrastructure

The server and the documents are hosted by the Centre informatique de l'Unil. The data is therefore hosted securely in Switzerland.

Personal data

As a research centre, the Foundation is keen to know and support the researchers who use its archives. This is why researchers must provide information about themselves and their research. This information is kept offline, so there is no risk of it leaking onto the Internet.
For statistical purposes, consultation information is collected by the Plausible analysis tool, a privacy-friendly and GDPR compliant tool.
The documents consulted by the researchers registered on the web portal are also recorded in a database in an anonymised manner, again in compliance with data protection laws.

The Foundation

The Foundation is an independent, non-partisan and non-militant institution of public utility, which operates from the Ferme de Dorigny, located at the heart of the University of Lausanne campus. It was created in 1978 by Jean Monnet, designer and first president of the first European Community (coal-steel) and first honorary citizen of Europe, who entrusted it with his entire archive. Today, it holds many other private archives which it promotes.

It offers researchers a coherent set of unique documentary resources on the origins and developments of European integration and Swiss-European relations. It also contributes to the training of students, while an editorial mission completes the range of its activities with two collections of publications. The Foundation, which welcomes visitors by appointment and regularly organises conferences, debates and symposia, has become a European crossroads and an essential place for meetings, debates and reflection on major current European issues. It is supported by the Swiss Confederation (Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research), the Canton of Vaud, the City of Lausanne and the University of Lausanne.
