IES-Europe has been organizing “Europe & Liberty” seminars since 1989. In 2025, two seminars will be organised in Aix-en-Provence, one in English and one in French. Each seminar will bring together around 25 students. While the two groups will follow different lectures, they will have the opportunity to interact during the breaks and exchange ideas. If you wish to apply to the seminar in French, switch to the French page of this website.
The purpose of the seminar is to provide a general introduction to classical liberal thought as developed by Locke, Smith, Turgot, Say, Mises, Hayek and many others.
The seminar follows the Socratic tradition: the lectures last no more than 45 minutes and are followed by time for discussion between the speaker and the participants. The debates then continue informally around meals and during free time.
The seminar is free of charge, the organizers cover the cost of tuition, accommodation and meals. But if some students are in a position to contribute they are invited to do so through the "contribute" tab.
Students wishing to participate must apply. To do this, simply click on the “Registration” tab and complete the different sections.
IES-Europe staff will be welcoming students at "Cité Universitaire les Gazelles"
Every session is organized in three parts:
- 45' of lecture,
- 30' of group discussion (students split in three or four groups to discuss about the lecture and come back with questions)
- 45' of open discussion with the lecturer
