| Biography |
 F.
Biancheri and the Egee Board during the lunch on Erasmus with F. Mitterrand.
|
Aged
45 today, Franck Biancheri is the President of Newropeans, the first
trans-European political movement.
Professionally speaking, he coordinates researches at the European Laboratory of Political Anticipation LEAP/Europe 2020, with a particular focus on the GlobalEurope Anticipation Bulletin, a Confidential Letter analysing and watching over the economic and geo-political impact of the global systemic crisis. |
||
|
He is also a columnist for Newropeans Magazine. And he remains President of the Euro-American organisation TIESWeb. |

|
|
In
1985, while he was still a student, he founded the first
large-scale European student network, AEGEE-Europe, which only 3
years later in 1988 brought together over 12,000 members from 70
different European university cities. In 1987, Franck Biancheri
convinced French President François Mitterrand to engage
publicly in favour of financing the ERASMUS program, thus enabling
the birth of the first large European and citizen-based programme
oriented towards the younger generations. |
 |
In
1989, Franck Biancheri, with his European friends, proved that it
is possible to build a trans-European political movement, Initiative
for a European Democracy (IED), and presented lists in different
countries (France, Spain and the Netherlands) in the European election
of 1989. To this day, he remains the only person who has managed to
achieve an exploit as such. |
Since
1991, Franck Biancheri, through various non-governmental
organizations, has been busy developing relations between
the EU and the various regions and continents of the world
(Eastern Europe, Arab world, Latin America, Asia and North America).
This activity led him to organize, with a group of friends, one
of the most important EuroMed civil society congresses of the Barcelona
Process in 1996 in Marrakech (Morocco), as well as to launch TIESWEB,
the first Transatlantic web-portal dedicated to dialogue between
European and American civil societies, launched in December 1997,
at the White House, during the Washington Euro-American Summit.
In parallel, Franck Biancheri has been asked for his expert advice
by various EU (European Court of Auditors, European
Commission) and national institutions (namely the
French, Dutch, German… governments). Between 1993 and 1998, he attempted
to blow the whistle on the growing problems encountered in the management
of European public funds, as well as on the widening gap between
EU institutions and citizens. |
| In
1998, he published the anticipation scenario "
EU 2009: When the grand-children of Franco, Hitler, Mussolini and
Pétain will take control of Europe". |
From
1999 to 2002, Franck Biancheri, as Director of Studies
and Strategy Europe
2020, moderated two series of top-level seminars on
the future of the EU, forecasting as far as the year 2020, and,
on enlargement, in partnership with a large number of European governments
and EU institutions; these seminars contributed significantly to
increase the awareness of the deeply-rooted crisis situation emanating
from the European construction project and the complexity of its
institutions. |
|
In
October 2000, in order to bench-mark the emergence of new
generations of Europeans -born after the Treaty of Rome- and to
contribute to the creation of tomorrow's Europe, Franck Biancheri
organized the " Newropeans
2000 - New Europe, New Challenges, New Generations
" congress in Paris; a major event that brought together some
2,000 young Europeans with a large number of heads of States and
Governments, Ministers and European Commissioners. It is well worth
noting that this congress gave birth to the most important e-democracy
world project, Eu-StudentVote, which, under the guidance of Franck
Biancheri, made possible the election via Internet of the first
EU Student Council in June 2002. |
|
By
dedicating a whole year (2002-2003) to a series of 100
citizen-conferences in 25 different European countries (Newropeans
Democracy Marathon), Franck Biancheri expressed his
deep belief that the European construction has now reached a crucial
stage of its history and that the main challenge of this decade
consists of being able to reconcile democracy and European unity;
for otherwise the course of history will lead to a united but undemocratic
Europe embodied by the emerging populist trends.

Following this feat Franck Biancheri surprisingly discovered that he was elected one of Time Magazine's 2003 European Heroes (People’s Choice)

Franck
Biancheri is nominated as one of the top 25 who are changing
the world of Internet and Politics, as selected by Politics
Online and the
5th E-Democracy Worldwide Forum!. Franck Biancheri, has been
selected for his numerous activities serving the democratization
of the European Union and the reshaping of Transatlantic relations. |
In 2005, Franck
Biancheri launched the Transatlantic Citizen Marathon presented
by TIESWeb. In this framework, he visited 10 different states to
conduct a series of conferences and debates with American citizens
on the future of EU-US relations."
|
|
In June
2006, as a result of the failure of the referenda on the
European Constitution, he launched the first trans-European political
movement, Newropeans, that will stand for elections to the European
Parliament in 2009 in all EU countries. As the president of Newropeans,
Franck Biancheri is thus the first trans-European political leader
in the history of European democracy. CICERO : Verrückt nach Europa" |
