The Hamburg-Vigoni Forum aims to bring research and politics into dialogue with each other in an innovative way. The focus is less on detailed questions of day-to-day politics and more on an overall concept of integration policy: "Space - Sovereignty - Identity", the narratives of integration and disintegration that are familiar but have not yet been sufficiently scrutinized in terms of their relevance for concrete European policy concepts for the future. Scientifically reflected and theoretically informed, the aim is to provide policy-makers with interpretations to explain Europe in terms of where it comes from and where it is going, to make it more tangible for citizens, and to make it tangible in their everyday reality.

To this end, the University of Hamburg has joined forces with the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg, the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, and Villa Vigoni as part of its European strategy as a university of excellence to stimulate a constructive discourse on European policy with the participation of leading academics.

The Hamburg-Vigoni Forum is organised as one of the international strategy conferences of the University of Hamburg and is funded by the Excellence Strategy.
