Dear University of Economics in Katowice team,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Brian Fabrègue, President of Blue Europe, a think tank based in Luxembourg, France, and Poland, dedicated to fostering dialogue and mutual understanding between Western, Central, and Eastern Europe.

I am pleased to share an exciting opportunity for your students and recent graduates: the Blue Europe 2025–2026 “Alexis de Tocqueville” Student Contest. You can find all info here: https://www.blue-europe.eu/news/our-news/blue-europe-2025-2026-alexis-de-tocqueville-contest/  This year marks the 5th edition of the contest, and we truly appreciate that your university has previously shared our initiative with your students. We would be delighted if you could once again help us promote it this year. For your convenience, I have attached a ready-to-use template message that you may forward to your academic community.

The deadline for abstract submissions is March 31, 2026, and final papers are due in June 2026. Selected entries will be published by Blue Europe.
This year, prizes are of €2,000 for first place and €500 for second place.

We would be grateful if you could share this announcement with your students and academic community.Further details, guidelines, and participation rules are available on our website . To make things easier, we have also prepared a draft message for students, which you will find attached.

Thank you very much for your support in encouraging the next generation of European thinkers.

Best regards,
Brian Fabrègue, for Blue Europe | alexis2025@contest.blue-europe.eu
