BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY AFTER THE BLAIR/BROWN ERA WASHINGTON FOUNDATION FOR EUROPEAN STUDIES The Washington Foundation for European Studies (WFES) is an educational foundation devoted to encouraging good relations between the United States and Europe through the mutual study of contemporary issues. The Foundation has pursued its aims in close collaboration with the European Studies Department at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of the Johns Hopkins University, including its Bologna Center in Italy. Besides developing and funding a number of studies, WFES supports the regular SAIS European Lecture Series. It also manages the Michael M. Harrison Fund that subsidizes opera and ballet tickets for SAIS students in Bologna and Washington, and encourages a series of informal seminars in Bologna on the historical significance of the opera. The WFES is incorporated in the District of Columbia and enjoys a 501(c)(3) tax status. Anyone desiring to contribute to its work, or who wishes to be invited to the Lecture Series, should contact Nancy Tobin at SAIS European Studies, 1619 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036. Contributions should be made out to WFES and are deductible to the amounts permitted by law. LECTURES AND GROUP RESEARCH In Washington, the SAIS European Lecture Series takes advantage of the program's special connections and location to present a regular series of lecturers -- European and American -- drawn from governments, international organizations, universities, the diplomatic community, the press business, etc.. Bologna offers a rich series of its own lectures, drawn from its contacts throughout Europe. In both places ongoing research programs involve European scholars and public figures in collaborative research publications, conferences and lectures. This is the program at present. New meetings and conferences, however, will doubtless be added. Please consult the SAIS weekly calendar for updated information. |
