Centre d'Excellence Europe Capitole

Mortarboards, sashes and diplomas were handed out to them by faculty members and representatives of partner universities, in the presence of the eminent patron of the School, Heinz Wismann, director of studies emeritus at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS).

Mr Wismann, a Franco-German philosopher and philologist, author of the book Penser entre les langues (Thinking between languages) for which he received the Charles Veillon European Essay Prize in 2012, delivered a speech for the opening ceremony as part of the Occitanie region’s Quinzaine Franco-Allemande event.
