About us
The Centre d'Estudis Jordi Pujol (CEJP) is a non-profit-making foundation established in 2005. It is not affiliated with any political party and is financed solely through donations made by individuals, companies and institutions.
We convey the political ideas of Jordi Pujol
Our mission is to promote contemporary political debate that brings up to date and strengthens the basic principles that have paved President Jordi Pujol's way, from his period as an activist in opposition to the Franco regime to his time as president of the Generalitat.
We promote political ideas aligned with Catalan and European values
The CEJP seeks to engender renewed critical opinion to tackle the global challenges of the future with the aim of:
- Contributing to strengthening the basic values of Catalonia and Europe.
- Give fresh impulse to human demands, ambitions, qualities and density of relations in our society.
We debate crucial issues concerning society today
Main areas of interest:
- Welfare State
- Education
- Values
- Demographics
- Civil Society
- Immigration
- Environment
- Economic development
- Globalisation
- Patriotism
- Politics
The CEJP approaches these issues from three different standpoints: namely, the Catalan, the Individual and the European perspective.
Activities and Services
The aim of the CEJP is to generate and stimulate ideas by means of the various activities and services that it offers throughout the year. These activities are directed at:
- Cultivating and driving debate around ideas
- Promoting and publicising the foundation
- Discovering talented young people in the fields of academia and science
Activities
- Seminars
The CEJP will periodically organise seminars and conferences welcoming distinguished speakers, both national and international, from the political, cultural and academic worlds to encourage intense political debate around some of the most pressing problems affecting society today. - Journal
Every four months the CEJP publishes a journal with a focus on current affairs and containing both specialist articles and general overviews. With its in-depth approach, the quarterly seeks to become a referential periodical among contemporary thinkers, by virtue of the quality of its articles and the merit of its writers. The journal is distributed by subscription and will be published in print as well as in an electronic version. - Books
The CEJP publishes books and specialist studies that are the foundation of debate for the Centre d'Estudis. - Awards, Scholarships and Promoting Talent
The Centre d'Estudis is committed to organising awards and scholarships related to the Foundation's areas of study in order to provide young people with the opportunity to carry out research in academic and scientific fields. - Collaborations
We seek to promote and participate in activities that bring about a comprehensive study of the field of political thinking, undertaken by universities, non-profit-making institutions and others.
