Under this heading are the outlines and programmes of six conferences/workshops at the EUI between 2000 and 2006. They deal with Europe's unity and internal divisions and the role of the nation-states and their citizenships in European integration. Other teams are the connection between religion and modernity and the meaning of Europe.
Four workshops between 1998 and 2006 explored the connections, overlaps, and demarcations between art and history,fiction and fact. There was a particular focus on film.

These two workshops in 2001 discussed the tension between state sovereignty and the image of a universal order transcending state borders that has been a constant of international relations in Europe, oscillating between peace and war. They also reflected on the legitimacy of military interventions in the name of an international community whose future legal status and structures are still indeterminate.
