Europe Direct University of Luxembourg is geared towards a broad audience, with the aim of informing students, researchers, teachers and the general public about issues related to the European Union’s history and current affairs, as well as reflecting on potential future challenges. It organizes a number of lectures, seminars, discussions and exhibitions, and offers a wide range of information about the history of European integration, the EU institutions and the workings and policies of a united Europe. Europe Direct University of Luxembourg maximises the potential of its location at the heart of the Greater Region, in one of the EU’s permanent capitals. It makes a major contribution to citizen education, especially among young people, raising awareness about the European Union’s policies and helping develop teaching and research on European integration in Luxembourg. 

Based in the Luxembourg Learning Centre (LLC) on Belval Campus, Europe Direct University of Luxembourg is coordinated by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C² DH) – the University’s third interdisciplinary research centre, which focuses on high-quality research, analysis and public dissemination in the field of contemporary Luxembourgish and European history. Europe Direct University of Luxembourg will be managed by Dr Elena Danescu, a Research Scientist at the C² DH.
