To mark forty years since the first European Parliament election, the European University Institute in Fiesole, in cooperation with the Historical Archives of the EU (ASUE), is holding a conference on “History of the European Parliament: research projects, sources and historical memory 1979-2019” at the House of European History in Brussels today. The programme features three round tables after the welcome address by the organisers: the first one on “State of Research and Projects about the History of the EP” (panellists: Umberto Tulli, University of Trento; MEP Antonio Caiola; and Donatella Viola, University of Calabria); the second one on “Sources and archives for the history of the Parliament” (speakers: Christian Salm, Research Service of the European Parliament; Ludovic Delepine, Historical Archives of the European Parliament; Agnès Brouet, Historical Archives of the European Union; and Alfredo De Feo, European University Institute). Work will continue in the afternoon with an exchange of views on “Historical Memories of the EP: Personal Views by Key Actors” (with Dietmar Nickel, Former Director General of the European Parliament; Former President Enrique Barón; two former MEPs, Antoinette Spaak and Alain Lamassoure; and Pier Virgilio Dastoli from the European Movement Italy).
