Introducing the EUTOPIA Review

We are proud to announce the publication of the n. 1 issue of the EUTOPIA Review. In an age dominated by fleeting tweets and viral videos, the timeless tradition of intellectual reviews remains a standard of thoughtful discourse. Reviews have been the cornerstone of European thought for over two centuries, fostering cultural dialogue and transcending borders.

While social media and streaming platforms offer convenience, they often fall short in providing the nuanced analysis needed to navigate today's complex issues. EUTOPIA enters this void, offering room for exploration and critical thinking. More than just a publication, the EUTOPIA Review is a nexus of ideas, bringing together voices from across Europe and beyond. Through essays and interviews, it provides a platform for scholars to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue.

With a focus on high-quality research and scholarship, it aims to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of academic discourse. Welcome to a new era in the exchange of ideas between our 10 European universities!
