PARTNERSHIPS
For the past 14 years, the ECMI Summer School has been organized in collaboration with
various regional institutions in the Danish-German border region, as well as other esteemed
organizations. Our strong supporters from previous years include the University of
Flensburg, the City of Flensburg, the Regional Government of Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel, the
Robert Bosch Foundation, the Akademie Sankelmark, the ZEIT Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd
Bucerius, the office of the Schleswig-Holstein Minister-President, and the Jaruplund
Højskole.
The 2024 Summer School is a joint initiative of the ECMI and the Coppieters Foundation,
with financial support from the European Parliament for the 6th consecutive year
ABOUT THE COPPIETERS FOUNDATION
The Coppieters Foundation is a think tank focused on European affairs. It develops
innovative ideas and produces knowledge on managing cultural and linguistic diversity,
collective and minority rights, multi-level governance, decentralization, state and
constitutional reform, statehood processes, self-determination, migration, peace studies,
and the protection of human rights in Europe.
The foundation aims to influence the decision-making process at the European level and
create a legal framework that better protects diversity, equality, and anti-discrimination of
minority groups. It also strives to enhance the implementation of the principle of
subsidiarity and the right to self-determination.
Its goals include driving the EU towards a more democratic institutional structure that
respects the collective rights of unrecognized European peoples, serving as a platform for
dialogue between academia, European institutions (the European Parliament, the European
Commission, and the Committee of the Regions), and other political actors. The foundation
transforms scientific knowledge in political science, economics, sociology, philosophy, and
history into actionable concepts for political decision-making. It also supports the European
Free Alliance by providing politically relevant concepts, ideas, data, and knowledge for both
institutional and non-institutional actions.
