Vision
Led by Institut Jonathas and ISGAP, this pilot project aims to establish a French-speaking summer university in Troyes, modeled after the Oxford/Cambridge program. It seeks to promote European Jewish heritage and life, analyze contemporary antisemitism, and train around 80 key stakeholders (students, teachers, institutional leaders) using international expert knowledge to ensure a lasting Jewish presence in Europe.

Institut Jonathas is an independent study and research center dedicated to combating antisemitism, racism, and all forms
of discrimination based in Brussels, Belgium. Guided by its motto, “To prevent the past from becoming our future,” the Institute
