Based in Luxemburg (Sanem Castle), public institution created in 2002.

The CVCE is an interdisciplinary centre of research and documentation on the European integration process, with a mission to create, valorise and disseminate knowledge in a innovative digital environment.

Knowing the past to build the future

Key areas of activity =

– Interdisciplinary research on the European integration process in the XX and XXI centuries, and outreach activities (“valorisation” – “Public history”)

– Research, development and integration of tools and methods using state of the art information and communication technologies and based on digital humanities to support advancement in European Integration studies

One small difference : Tree navigation→ Ariadne’s thread navigation Same standard structure of each thematic “units” and “subunit”

= synopsis + related documentation (self sufficient and coherent units)

In each unit, same classification of the documents Same enhancement of the published documents : title, caption, source and copyright

(see preview Advanced search engine and “panneau étendu”

One significant differences : typology of the documents items ENA : 17 kind of items (see Media library) CVCE.eu : 7 media (text, sound extract, video, table, diagram, map, image,

‘passeport’)

ENA typology and number of items



ENA Repository = CVCE.EU repository : 16.000 documents, multimediaNumerous sourcesOriginal multililingual documents, many translated

Two other typologies of the items to illustrate the work of the CVCE (1) and variety of documents (2) :

1- CVCE production v. reproduction of sourcesCVCE = Author and/or Publisher

2- Media and nature of documents



Documents produced by the CVCE Texts (Synopsis, expert Contributions, Bibliographies, Interviews transcripts,

consolidated Treaties,…) Interactive and composed Items (Maps, Diagrams, Tables, Passports,…) Interviews

Documents reproduced and edited by the CVCE (Primary Sources) Texts (Press Articles, Letters, Treaties, Institutional Documents, Documents from the

Civil Society, Articles in Journals, Oral Interventions, Testimonies and Memoirs,…) Audiovisual Archives (Video Clips, Sound Clips) Iconographic Items (Photos, Facsimiles, Cartoons) Some Tables

Why to recast the ENA Ressources ?

Mixture of content and various levels of knowledge :

Encyclopedic, pedagogical dimension Scientific dimension (special file, access to primary sources, scientific contributions Documentary dimension, various role for the documents

Uniform way of publishing – adaptation

How to recast the ENA Ressources ?

Edition of new products for clear target users :

Research community : Research corpus + bibliographies, conference recording Education and life long learning community : subjet files & pedagogical material

Publication in the two respective new portals


Transformation of ENA– stage 2 : recasting ENA resources (1)

Subject files

digital publications that offer comprehensive, explanatory coverage of specific themes related to Europe

Research corpus

Thematic research collections = “… new genre of scholarly production…”“…digital aggregations of primary sources and related materials that

support research on a theme” (Carole. L. Palmer)


Transformation of ENA– stage 2 : recasting ENA resources (1)

Creation of two new portals :

• Research– http://www.cvce.eu/espace-recherche

• Education & LLL – http://www.cvce.eu/espace-enseignement

Portals = ressources + tools + collaborative platform
