At the meeting of the Fondation Pierre Werner management committee held on May 3, 2019, it was decided to grant the Pierre Werner Grants for the year 2019 to three candidates. This decision was based on the opinion of the pre-selection jury from the University of Luxembourg, composed of Prof. Isabelle Riassetto, Prof. Benny Mantin, Prof. Jörg Gerkrath and Prof. Katalin Ligeti.

The successful candidates are:

• Ms. Jasmin Hiry (Germany), with the subject “The Evolution of the Rights of Initiative in the European Union.”
