Spanish term or phrase: grandes sabios de Europa
Hi, I would appreciate your help with this term.

There isn't much context but I think it should be enough, it is talking about important topics from a European audience standpoint. Could it be great thinkers?

context is:
"el diálogo intercultural, los grandes sabios de Europa, la problemática de las ciudades, la participación ciudadana, etc."

Thanks :)

great thinkers of Europe


Explanation:
I think you're on the right track. Translating this literally (with anything that includes the word "wise" and conjures up images of those bearing gifts) is probably not the best option here. :-)
