The Council of the Foundation
The Council of the Foundation, a strategic orientation body, currently has more than 500 members, about half of whom come from Switzerland, the other half from the rest of Europe, and about 15 from around the world. Three generations are living side by side, former collaborators of Jean Monnet, protagonists of European integration and personalities interested in European issues and the Foundation’s activities. Coming from the academic, political, economic and administrative worlds, these close relations provide the Foundation with significant support, from Switzerland, Europe and abroad, capable of connecting it with the most varied institutions and personalities from the most diverse backgrounds. The General Assembly of the Foundation Board meets once a year.
The Scientific Committee
The Scientific Committee includes personalities, Swiss and European, from various scientific disciplines (history, law, political science, economics, philosophy) who are active in the fields of research and education. The Scientific Committee contributes to the definition of the Foundation’s scientific objectives.
