Encyclopedia
European NAvigator was the former name of the digital library on the history of European integration and related institutions. The research project is now online at www.cvce.eu, a website dedicated to European integration studies.
The project is developed by the CVCE (Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l'Europe), a Luxembourg-based public undertaking that is actively supported by the Ministry of Culture, Higher Education and Research.
The website is available in English and French, though some documents are available in other languages.
