Historikerdialog by Aline SIERP and Philippe PERCHOC: Unifying Divisions – Politics of Memory in the European Union
Date: 22 January 2015
Place: Bruges Campus (Dijver Room E)
In this lecture Dr Aline SIERP scrutinizes the EU’s attempts to create an overarching European memory framework. By analyzing different EU politics of memory initiatives on the one hand and national reactions to them on the other, she asks whether there can be such a thing as a European memory. She argues that a European perspective attempts to break the mould of single national perspectives by integrating them into a common identity and value framework. Through the promotion of social interactions on the subnational level and the creation of a communicative arena, the EU acts as a facilitator for the transnationalization of debates on memory.

Minister Frank VANDENBROUCKE delivered a speech "Social Europe: Lessons from the Past, Perspectives for the Future"
Date: 5 April 2011
Time:17:00 - 18:30
Place: Bruges campus
On 5 April, Minister Frank VANDENBROUCKE delivered a speech entitled "Social Europe: Lessons from the Past, Perspectives for the Future".
The question of social Europe is both topical and crucial for European integration. Since the very beginning of the establishment of the internal market, social policies have been its important complement. One of the present‐day challenges is to preserve the European social model, and reform the social benefits systems in order to help maintain the budgetary equilibrium. The necessity to reform the social model, in order to enhance the well‐being of European citizens, and the competitiveness of the European economy, was confirmed both by the Lisbon strategy of 2000 and the recent “Europe 2020” strategy. However, in order to determine what has to be done, it is necessary to be aware of what has been done so far.
The speech delivered by Mr Frank VANDENBROUCKE is therefore timely. He has not only contributed to the social questions as a practitioner and politician, but also as a scholar. To mention just a few of his recent political functions: he was Minister for Social Affairs and Pensions (1999-2003) and for Employment and Pensions (2003-2004) in the Belgian Federal Government, and Minister for Employment, Education and Training (2004-2009) in the Flemish Government. Since 2009, he has been Minister of State and since 2010 Senator. On the academic level, one must mention that in 1999 he was awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy (DPhil) by the Faculty of Social Studies at Oxford University for his dissertation dealing with the concept of “active social state” and which became a true frame of reference for public action.
