ESCP Europe and the Europe Book Prize
In keeping with its European ambitions, ESCP Europe has participated in the Europe Book Prize since its inception in 2007.
In 2009, about twenty students from different European countries wrote presentations including a personal review and the translation of key passages of the book.
The Europe Book Prize is organized by the “Esprit Europe” association. It is sponsored by Jacques Delors, the former chairman of the EU Commission. It rewards the book which best describes the European ideal. Like ESCP Europe, the European Book Prize aims at promoting European values with all EU citizens.
The Supporting Committee of the Europe Book Prize, chaired by Jacques Delors, is composed by a panel of renowned promoters of the construction and development of Europe.
