The Green European Foundation is a co-organiser of many summer universities, together with Green national foundations from around Europe. Such events represent an excellent opportunity for Green activists to gather and reflect on both daily politics, as well as on longer term, ideological questions. GEF's involvement aims to bring a European perspective to the Green summer debates and to ensure a larger European participation in otherwise largely national events.

Below is a list of all summer universities we've identified. In case you'd like to take part or find out more information about one of these events, please get in touch with the local organisers directly.
