The challenges currently facing Europe are an invitation for us to develop a more thorough understanding of European history in all its complexity, with its interconnections, divisions and paradoxes. We aim to take a fresh look at Europe’s institutionalisation, its memories and controversies, its media and experts, by adopting a network-based perspective that draws on digital history methods.

A dynamic approach using digital history methods

The team contributes to research and teaching on the processes of European integration. These are considered in their institutional, political, and social aspects. It is also attentive to the more ‘hidden’ dimensions of European integration, through experts, media, infrastructures, as well as transnational cultural circulations. Another marked component of the team is its involvement in Digital History, with a strong focus on born-digital heritage: we explore European online media phenomena, memory studies through their digital traces, or mix recent questions in financial history with cutting-edge digital history.
We bridge the gap between academic research and communication with European stakeholders and citizens, especially by making use of the Robert Schuman house, now a dedicated meeting place for European history.
The team is deeply integrated in European research networks. It organised the first in 2023, which is part of a series in partnership with the European 8xav Institute (It.) and the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory (Germ.). We also benefit from close collaborations with Germany and the DFG ( and ) or Belgium (, co-funded by FNR and the Research Foundation – Flanders). We are strongly involved in scientific networks (, , COST action, etc.)
