L'Europe prochaine. Regards franco-allemands sur l'avenir de l'Union européenne
A l'occasion du 50e anniversaire de la signature des traités de Rome, des auteurs français et allemands font le point sur la construction européenne. Si ce sont Paris et Bonn/Berlin qui, en commun, ont donné les impulsions décisives pour faire avancer la CE/UE, aujourd'hui, suite aux événements de 1989/1990, l'Europe a acquis une autre dimension et le rôle de ce tandem s'est qualitativement transformé. L'ouvrage ne constitue pas une nouvelle présentation du poids des relations franco-allemandes dans différents domaines touchant les affaires européennes. Les chercheurs et universitaires, tous français et allemands, s'expriment de leur point de vue sur des problématiques bien précises qui ont trait au processus d'intégration européenne et au rôle et à la place de l'Europe dans le monde. Pour chaque sujet les auteurs procèdent à une analyse de la problématique et développent, dans la mesure du possible, un argumentaire prospectif intégrant des scénarios et/ou des recommandations.

The Study Committee on Franco-German Relations (Cerfa)
The Study Committee on Franco-German Relations (Cerfa) was created in 1954 by an inter-governmental agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and France, in order to raise awareness of Germany in France and analyze Franco-German relations, including in their European and international dimensions. In its conferences and seminars, which bring together experts, political leaders, senior decision-makers and representatives of civil society from both countries, Cerfa develops the Franco-German debate and stimulates political proposals. It regularly publishes studies through two collections: Cerfa notes and studies as well as Franco-German visions.
Cerfa maintains close relations with the network of German foundations and think tanks. In addition to its research and debate activities, Cerfa promotes the emergence of a new Franco-German generation through original cooperation programs. This is how in 2021-2022, Cerfa led a program on multilateralism with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Paris. This program is aimed at young professionals from both countries interested in the issues of multilateralism in the context of their activities. It covered a wide range of themes relating to multilateralism, such as international trade, health, human rights and migration, non-proliferation and disarmament. Previously, Cerfa had participated in the Franco-German future dialogue, co-led with the DGAP from 2007 to 2020, and supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Daniel Vernet group (formerly the Franco-German Reflection Group) which was founded in 2014 upon the initiative of the Genshagen Foundation.
