Throughout his life, Otto von Habsburg consciously developed and cultivated an impressive and diverse network of relationships, which is reflected in the work carried out in the Foundation. Through the various documents and photographs we have already processed, new historical, personal, and private connections were revealed, which we strived to present in 2023 as well, in conjunction with anniversaries and other occasions. Our namesake was fond of recounting his family’s centuries-long influence on the history of Europe, always highlighting how this dynastic experience had shaped his way of thinking. This sense of the continuity of history became evident numerous times throughout our events, whether we held discussions on the anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty, the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty, Central European cooperation, the centenary of the birth of Henry Kissinger, or the 250^th anniversary of that of his great inspiration, Prince Metternich. Otto von Habsburg’s correspondence, articles, and essays on each topic trace a greater arc that, through historical context, helps us understand the contradictions of contemporary Europe. It was a great pleasure and an honour for our Foundation that in 2023, many distinguished Hungarian and international scientific and political personalities contributed to our work and actively participated in our programmes.
