About
History
Since its founding in 1972 by the six original members of the then European Communities, the EUI has earned a reputation as a leading international academic institution with a European focus.
Education
The four departments – Economics, History and Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences – host scholars from more than 60 countries, studying for the Institution’s doctorate or the one-year master in law.
Research
- The Robert Schuman Centre focuses on three research themes and aims to address key questions about the functioning of the European Union and its role in the 21st century.
- The EU is the world’s most developed case of transnational integration; research on the European institutions, governance and democracy has long been at the core of our mission.
- It aims to understand the interaction of different dimensions of integration and evaluate their characteristics and tensions. In addition, the Union provides a rich laboratory for the study of multileveled governance, new modes of governance and the governance tools the EU has to address societal challenges.
