Abstract
The current inclination, at the European level, to fund education in the form of projects radicalises the modern orientation towards the present as the attempt to bind a yet indeterminate future. This article proposes a close re-reading of Niklas Luhmann’s sociological oeuvre in order to problematise the place of the present in modern education. In order to sketch out the need for a new educational ecology, it then draws attention to how transnational projects articulate their educational meaning.
