The European Week Eindhoven is a biennial event that will take place for the ninth time, from March 26th to March 30th, 2007. During this event more than 350 students from all over Europe, as well as 150 Dutch students from the organizing team, gather to discuss various topics concerning the development of Europe on the basis of a central theme. The European Week Eindhoven 2007 will evolve around the theme: "European Evolution: from a separate past to a united future".

Besides the lectures and workshops, the participants follow all kinds of cultural events during the Week, such as a trip to Amsterdam, a cultural festival and Eindhoven's biggest student party: the Auditorium party!

European Evolution

Europe is an ever changing continent with a diverse population. Through the years citizens of Europe worked and fought together as well as against each other. Cities arose all over Europe changing the landscape in each country. Borders have been moved back and forth through the years. Step by step the present Europe has been formed: a Europe of diversity, but also of unity. More and more countries expand their horizon by cooperating, for example, in the field of economics, politics and safety. Every nation has its own rules, but more and more, European laws are playing a significant role.



During the week we will review Europe evolving through time while contemplating the difference between the separate pasts and the road to a united future. This process will be regarded from multiple points of view while speakers share their vision of Europe's past and future.

Beside lectures about the development of Europe, multiple discussions will be held to give participators the opportunity to raise their own voice to share their ideas and provide insight to every person's perception of the evolution of Europe.

By the end of the week, participants will have acquired a wealth of knowledge from which they can draw, in order to form their opinion about the challenges and opportunities that the new European perspective is creating.

How to participate

Despite the EWE's tradition of high-profile and prominent speakers and the rich cultural program, the EWE will be free of charge. Because of the many subscriptions and limited places, we are forced to make a selection of people we can invite. For this reason you need our invitation to participate in the EWE 2007. The deadline for application is set on January 14th 2007. The participation form can be found together with additional information at www.europeanweek.org.
