EUI President Renaud Dehousse rounded out his first day on the job last week with an official welcome to the 120 new Ph.D. and LL.M. researchers and the 69 fellows who have matriculated for the 2016/17 academic year.  In an address to the new group of young academics on 1 September, Dehousse expressed his happiness to be present on the occasion of their transition into a new and important phase in their intellectual careers.
