The Dahrendorf Programme at the European Studies Centre commemorates the College’s third Warden, Ralf Dahrendorf, one of the leading social and political thinkers of his time, and is dedicated to a subject central to his work and life. It has three main components: a Research Agenda which currently focuses on the Europe in a Changing World project, and has previously included the Europe’s Stories project, the Free Speech Debate project; an annual Ralf Dahrendorf Memorial Lecture; and an annual group of competitively selected Dahrendorf Scholars.

The Dahrendorf Programme is co-directed by Professor Timothy Garton Ash and Professor Paul Betts.

The programme is generously funded by Stiftung Mercator, with additional support from the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung für die Freiheit.
