“As Europeans, we are at a turning point – we must re-seize the pragmatism that was so central to the founding spirit of the Union or be swept away by the tide of history. From individuals to nations to the European institutions, we must work together to tackle our joint challenges.”
Valéry Giscard d’Estaing
Re-Imagine Europa (RIE) is an international non-partisan think-tank founded by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, in honour of his partnership and friendship with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and their efforts to define a future that goes beyond personal, national or partisan interests.
Working with leading scientists and an extended network of knowledge and strategic partners, we conduct research on narratives, public discourse, disinformation, and polarization. Our mission is to develop evidence-based strategies that bridge divides and foster societal resilience.
