Our Brexit

Message

After the first British victory of the Second World War at El Alamein, Churchill wrote to his foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, on 21 October 1942: ‘Hard as it is to say now.. I look forward to a United States of Europe, in which the barriers between the nations will be greatly minimised and unrestricted travel will be possible.’

We at CRN are proud to work on the visions of the many and not the few, creating a Europe, where civil society can thrive and European citizens can move, exchange ideas and create innovative solutions together.

We are continuing to work on this visions with all our partners within the EU, but as well in all the other countries. We will not stop to reach out, might it be to Ukraine, the Balkans or now our friends in UK.

We know some of you want to go your own way, some of you want to return one day, some of you don’t want to leave at all - we don’t know the path you will take, all we can tell you is, we will be here for you, exchanging knowledge, create social change and maybe one day realize the vision Churchill hoped for in the mist of the war.

We are actively involved in scientific research, education and training that link the realm of ideas with everyday experience.
