The Remarque Lectures

On an annual basis the Institute invites a distinguished person to give public lectures in New York on a subject of his or her own choosing. They are intended for a broad audience and it is hoped that they will contribute to public understanding of European history, politics, culture, and the arts and to the creation of a growing constituency for discussion about Europe.
