STRENGTHENING EUROPEAN TIES SINCE 2016
Who we are
Blue Europe is an independent and non-profit think tank based in Luxembourg, France and Poland. Made up of several organizations and experts working together, its vision is to develop exchanges between Western, Central and Eastern Europe, particularly at the economic and public policy levels. Born in 2016, we are grouped by the vision that Central-Eastern Europe can eventually become the new driving force of "the old continent".
OUR MISSION
Blue Europe serves as a platform for research, cooperation and networking focused on building bridges between Western, Central and Eastern Europe. To ensure meaningful collaboration, we strive to remain an independent, non-partisan and non-profit organisation. By fostering dialogue and understanding, Blue Europe aims to strengthen regional ties and support public policies that promote sustainable growth and stability across the continent.

OUR VISION
We envision Central and Eastern Europe as the new driving force of the continent, ensuring balanced development and prosperity for all its citizens. Our goal is to uphold European values of freedom and cooperation, creating a more interconnected and competitive Europe. By strengthening economic and social ties, we aim to position Europe as a strong global player, united in its diversity and committed to progress and innovation.
Blue Europe yearly contest
At Blue Europe, we organize yearly writing contests to support our mission of fostering research, collaboration, and dialogue on critical issues affecting Europe, particularly Central and Eastern Europe. These contests are a platform for young scholars to share innovative ideas that align with the think tank’s mission and vision. By encouraging contributions from diverse young voices, we aim to promote new ideas and reward the next generation of European thinkers.
Blue Europe has launched the 2024-2025 “Denis de Rougemont” contest to encourage scholarly exchanges between Western and Central-Eastern Europe. Open to European students and recent graduates, participants can submit articles exploring European regional relations or Central and Eastern Europe-specific topics. The competition offers two cash prizes (€1000 and €500) for the best articles, with selected works published on Blue Europe’s website. Key deadlines include January 31, 2025, for abstract submissions and May 31, 2025, for full articles.
