The Jacques Delors Institute (French: Institut Jacques Delors), which also uses the name Notre Europe (French for "Our Europe"), is an independent think tank based in Paris.[1] [2] [3] Founded in 1996 by Jacques Delors, it aims to "think a united Europe."

In co-operation with the Hertie School of Governance it has operated a branch in Berlin since 2014, the Jacques Delors Institut Berlin. In 2019, The Jacques Delors Institute Berlin merged with the Hertie School, forming the new Jacques Delors Centre. [4]

Research

Notre Europe's research is focused around four axes:

  • "Visions of Europe" (European identity; European institutional reform)
  • "European democracy in action" (transnational deliberative democracy; European think tanks)
  • "Competition, cooperation, solidarity" (the CAP post-2013; the European budget; a European energy policy)
  • "Europe and world governance" (comparative regional integration)

Notre Europe's main activity is to publish studies and to organise public symposia and seminars. Its publications are essentially produced in-house, but outside researchers and academics are also called on. Work is published in French and English, and occasionally German.

Notable debate contributions by Notre Europe include the organisation of Europe's first transnational deliberative poll, Tomorrow's Europe; a study on the poisonous budget rebate debate; an analysis of the 2005 rejection of the European constitutional treaty; an examination of European think tanks; a blueprint for a new "European social contract"; and a proposal to politicise European debate by linking the choice of European Commission president to European Parliament elections.

Governance

Notre Europe has been successively presided by Jacques Delors (1996-2004), Pascal Lamy (2004–05), Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa (2006-2010), António Vitorino (2011-2016)[5] and Enrico Letta (2016–present).[6]

It is a member of the European Policy Institutes Network (EPIN)[7] and frequently works in partnership with other organisations.
