Organized by Franck Biancheri Networks

In 2020, the time will be ripe to evaluate the project initiated by Franck Biancheri in 1985, entitled Europe 2020:

. history

. success

. failures

. lessons

. and handing over to the new generations

All these will be presented during a major conference aiming to bring together all those who have met Franck and his successors throughout these past 35 years of an enormous fight for the unification of the European administrative machinery and the European citizens’ interest.

The Franck Biancheri Networks, which assembled all those who were loyal to Franck’s cause in the framework of the organizations and projects he bequeathed when he died in 2012, have in sight this 2020 great event, which will hopefully structure their efforts and strategies over the next five years.

There are 5 years to capitalize on Franck Biancheri’s huge legacy and build on that legacy the reinvention of the basic European integration project.

It will be a Historical Congress in order to evaluate the work and to hand over the European democratization project to the new generations, the real owners of this 21st century Europe.

[box type=”shadow” align=”aligncenter” width=”350″ ] From now on, all those who had crossed Franck’s path, who either met him personally or his successors since 1985, are cordially invited to come forward.
