This issue is entitled "Vladimir Poutine ou la falsification de l'Histoire comme arme de guerre", written by Professor Robert Belot. This essay presents itself as a critical reading of Vladimir Poutine's article "On the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians" (12 July 2021). Belot shows how the Russian power gaslights and manipulates history in order to justify the attack against Ukraine, denying it's history and identity.

The Henri Rieben Scholarship of the Foundation is open for the 14th consecutive year. With a net amount of CHF 3,000 per month in addition to the reimbursement of travel expenses (home-Lausanne-domicile), the grant allows researchers from all over the world at doctoral level to stay at the Foundation for a period of one to three months. Regardless of the researchers' discipline, their doctoral thesis will focus on the history or challenges of European integration, or on the relations between Switzerland and Europe. The Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe regularly publishes books on European history and current affairs. Depending on the topics of the fellows' theses, the Foundation may be interested in publishing a popularised version of the research. The scholarships awarded each academic year encourage access to and use of the Foundation's resources, such as the personal archives of Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman (European papers), Robert Marjolin and Jacques Delors (1985-1995). These are sources of major interest for European studies and 20th century history. Consult the inventory of archives The selected fellows will be based at the Ferme de Dorigny, the Foundation's headquarters, located on the campus of the University of Lausanne. The decisions will be notified to the candidates by the end of June 2024. For more information on the objectives, amount, duration of the fellowship, application form and status of the fellowship holders, please consult the Fellowship Regulations. If you have any questions about the Foundation's documentary resources, please contact Mr Vincent Bezençon, Head archivist (vincent.bezencon@fjme.unil.ch; tel. : +41 (0)21 692 20 97). For any general questions regarding the scholarship, please contact Mrs. Lucie Du Pasquier, Head of scientific expertise and publications (lucie.dupasquier@fjme.unil.ch ; tel. : +41 (0)21 692 20 96).   The Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe has created a scholarship for young researchers dedicated to the memory of Professor Henri Rieben, the Foundation's first President, from 1978 to 2005, a leading specialist in European integration. It is called "Henri Rieben Scholarship". The Henri Rieben Scholarship of the Foundation is financed exclusively by private sources and the objective of building up a base capital was achieved at the end of 2009, thanks in particular to the generosity of many members of the Board and former students of Professor Rieben. List of donators The first international call for applications was held in January 2011 for the 2011-2012 academic year. Since then, the scholarship has been awarded annually.

    [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.

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.   [post_title] => Archive web portal [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => archive-web-portal [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2022-09-13 10:31:03 [post_modified_gmt] => 2022-09-13 08:31:03 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://jean-monnet.ch/?post_type=archive&p=5973 [menu_order] => 6 [post_type] => archive [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw )

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.
