EuVisions is an observatory and data collection project on the themes, issues and debates pertaining to the social dimension of European integration. It was established as part of the ERC-funded REScEU project (Reconciling Economic and Social Europe: Values, Ideas and Politics) based at the University of Milan and the Centro Einaudi of Turin.

EuVisions’ work is organised around four pillars: Politics, Ideas, Institutions, and Social media.

Combining academic rigour, the use of engaging visual tools, and an eye on current events makes EuVisions a unique experiment, which aims not only to speak to audiences possessing different levels of knowledge and analytical sophistication on social Europe, but also to bridge the communicative gap between scholars and laypeople interested in this subject.This article presents an argument in favour of a EU-wide civilian service as the first pillar of a strengthened European identity.
