About Ucl European Horizons
European Horizons is an international policy lab entirely led by students, that brings together students, policymakers, and academics devoted to European and transatlantic affairs. The UCL chapter is integrated into a network of >60 universities.
Ucl European Horizons Description
European Horizons University College London is an affiliated chapter of European Horizons.
European Horizons is a non-partisan think-tank devoted to exploring the meaning of European identity, modernizing and reforming the concept of the social market economy, advancing the cause of European integration, and deepening transatlantic relations. It started at Yale University and is now present at some of the most prestigious universities in the world, such as Harvard, Stanford University, and Columbia University.
To this end, European Horizons has established a network of students, professors, and European decision-makers, with links to academia, politics, civil society, and business. Together, we will engage in a constructive dialogue that will propound a platform of ideas for reforming the European Union and setting a policy vision for its future.
European Horizons at UCL will:
- Help students from UCL and other universities in London attend European Horizons' international conferences.
- Hold events at UCL on European and transatlantic affairs.
- Spread knowledge on European affairs.
- Hold different debates on European issues with speakers from all around European universities.
- Promote discussion and debate on European affairs.
If you are looking to get involved with European Horizons at UCL by attending a conference, helping to organise an event at UCL or becoming a member, feel free to contact us, we’re here for you.

Our friends from the UCL European Institute are hosting one of their biggest event : The Sakharov Debate.
This year, once again, they tackle a very hot topic by debating on the rhetoric of Brexit and its accuracy: what will it represent for UK citizens, what is the role of the Parliament and so on?
Co-organized with the European Parliament Office in the UK, this debate is an event not to miss!
