Speech (extract) by Mayor Albert Maas

‘About a year ago we heard that the city of Bruges in Flanders wanted to open a European college with the help of the Belgian state and the support of the Council of Europe which was to be developed into a European university. What a magnificent idea, an excellent instrument to support European thinking on an intellectual level […]. And how meaningful it is that young Europe can get to know each other here and become aware of their common occidental intellectual heritage.’
