This symposium, organised by the European Commission, was a way of commemorating the centenary of Jean Monnet's birth. It records the history of European integration. In his lifetime Jean Monnet took second place to the institutions he helped to create and subsequently guided. It is for those same institutions, in tribute to his memory, to highlight the circumstances in which they came into being and identify the influences which shaped the European venture.

Jean Monnet made a vital contribution to Europe's rehabilitation in the post-war years. He placed his experience as an organizer and a man of action at the disposal of both the victors and the vanquished, persuading them to forget past quarrels and start again on a new footing.
