Hendrik Brugmans

He studied history of French literature at the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Since 2010, the students of the College of Europe have honoured him further by holding an annual football tournament named the Hendrik Brugmans Memorial Cup.

Four teams from the host promotion entered the 14-team tournament and three of them made it to the semi-finals, the final being an all-Einstein affair.

The 2012[3] and 2016[4] editions were won by EFC Natolinsky (Einstein promotion) and the 2011 winners reclaimed the trophy in 2015.

[5] The 2017 edition was won by both the male and female teams of the John Maynard Keynes Promotion, also known as 'Invictus' due to their 100% rate of wins in the Cup.
