The Luxembourg Institute for European and International Studies (LIEIS) is a forum of academic and intellectual discussions and research, as well as a platform of training and upgrading for undergraduates and young professionals from both western and eastern countries.

One of LIEIS' constant themes of research and debate has been the European integration process as well as developments in the wider Europe. The topic has been explored for the last 16 years under the form of summer schools organized by the Institute in cooperation with the Black Sea University Foundation, and, later on, with the European Cultural Centre in Romania.

The ambition of the 2010 seminar is to have a critical look at some key societal models such as liberalism and socialism, their possible strengths and shortcomings, as well as at a few more marginal concepts such as utopianism, anarchism, communitarianism and the underlying philosophical ideas: utilitarianism, materialism, idealism, pessimism. What can be the guiding principles and values in the quest for a decent society – tolerance, empathy, justice, benevolence – and how to implement them?
