Welcome

The Remarque Institute was created at New York University in 1995 under the direction of Professor Tony Judt to support and promote the study and discussion of Europe and its near neighbors; to encourage greater mutual understanding between Americans and Europeans; and to host talks and debates on subjects of common concern and topical significance. The Institute was named after Erich Maria Remarque, whose widow, Paulette Goddard, made a generous bequest to New York University.

Every year, the Institute brings together scholars, journalists and policy experts to take part in these discussions through seminars, workshops, conferences and a competitive program of fellowships and support for visiting scholars. We welcome participants from many countries and backgrounds to join us in New York and Europe and contribute to an ongoing international conversation.
