Workshops

Occasionally the Remarque Institute organizes workshops on European themes of concern to a broad constituency. The purpose of these  workshops is to bring together people with a common interest, from Europe as well as from New York, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. Participants hail from the worlds of politics, the arts and learning, business, and journalism, depending on the theme of the workshop, and are encouraged to contribute actively to the informal discussions; where appropriate, the Institute will publish the proceedings in a series of occasional Working Papers.
