El Instituto Vasco Etxepare, la Universität Leipzig y el William A. Douglass Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, han co-organizado el congreso académicoThe International Legacy of Lehendakari Jose A. Agirre’s Government, que tuvo lugar en su primera fase en Berlín, con el objetivo de analizar a fondo el legado del primer Lehendakari. Este congreso ha recibido también apoyo por parte del Agirre Lehendakaria Center, de la Cátedra Mikel Laboa y del Grupo Investigador MHLI (UPV-EHU). Se trata de un congreso triple: realizó una primera parada del 26 al 29 de marzo en laUniversity of Nevada, Reno, y continúa ahora en la Universität Humboldt de Berlin el 1 de junio, y en la Columbia University de Nueva York el 9 de junio. 

The Agirre Congress will be held this Thursday, June 9, at the Teachers College of Columbia University. The program is an integrative approach to José Antonio Agirre's (1904-1960) legacy, a modern reflection on the European and universal dimensions of the first democratically legitimized president of the Basque Country, his personal and institutional relationships as well as his political, social, and cultural convictions.

2016 represents the 75th anniversary of Agirre's arrival in Germany during his long and hard exile. Taking this as a starting point, the academic congress will serve as grounds for analyzing the legacy of Agirre's Government in exile and its relation to the construction of a democratic Europe.

This event is co-organized by the Etxepare Basque Institute, Universität Leipzig, and the William A. Douglass Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. It is also supported by Agirre Lehendakaria Center, Mikel Laboa Chair (Univ. of the Basque Country), and MHLI Research Group (Univ. of the Basque Country).
