On Tuesday 11 June 2024, the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe in Lausanne had the honour of receiving the President of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliamentary Assembly) of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, on the occasion of his official visit to the Swiss Parliament.

President Stefanchuk, who is the second in command in Ukraine, was warmly welcomed by Pat Cox, President of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe and former President of the European Parliament; Frédéric Herman, Rector of the University of Lausanne; Jacques de Watteville, Vice-President of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe and former Secretary of State; and Gilles Grin, Director of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe.

After a guided tour of the archives, President Pat Cox presented the Foundation's Gold Medal to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for the exercise of its constitutional prerogatives during martial law, for its commitment to stand by the Ukrainian nation’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, for its resolve to lead Ukraine into the European Union, and for its readiness to seek consensus through dialogue and mutual respect. In doing so, the Rada is making a major contribution not just to Ukraine, but to Europe as a whole.

For security reasons, the Foundation was unable to announce this event in advance or broadcast it live. Thank you for your understanding.

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.

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.
