26th September 2017: Speech of French President Macron at the Sorbonne „Je propose la création d’universités européennes qui seront un réseau d’universités de plusieurs pays d’Europe, mettant en place un parcours où chacun de leurs étudiants étudiera à l’étranger et suivra des cours dans deux langues au moins. (...) Nous devons nous fixer, d’ici à 2024, d‘en construire au moins une vingtaine. Mais nous devons, dès la prochaine rentrée universitaire, structurer les premières, avec de véritables semestres européens et de véritables diplômes européens.“
