Goals / Remit
The European University Institute is an international institution created by the Member States of the founding European Communities in 1972. Its main objective is to provide advanced academic training to Ph.D students and to promote research at the highest level.
It is a major doctoral and postdoctoral academic institution and carries out research in a European perspective (fundamental research, comparative research and Community research) in history, law, economics, political and social science.
According to its Convention, the aim of the Institute is to contribute, by its activities in the fields of higher education and research, to the development of the cultural and scientific heritage of Europe, taking into account Europe’s cultural and linguistic pluralism and relations with cultures outside Europe.
The Institute is also a forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas and experience in subjects falling within the areas of study and research with which it is concerned. It has developed interdisciplinary research programmes on the major issues confronting contemporary European society, including matters relating to the construction of Europe.
The EUI is a community of around 600 researchers and 60 professors. Its full-time teaching staff, fellows and research students are recruited from all countries of the European Union and from further afield.
Its doctoral programme is among the most important in Europe in the field of social sciences; over 100 theses are defended every year.
Postdoctoral research is becoming an ever more important part of the EUI’s activities. There are about 100 post-doctoral fellows hosted each year.
Other specific programmes and projects are funded through a variety of resources, private and public donors and mainly the European Community: the EUI is involved in research projects covering the various legal, political, social and economic dimensions of the Europeanization processes. Most of these projects are run in cooperation with European and non-European universities.Main EU files targeted
The Institute is structured into four departments - Law, Political and Social Sciences, Economics, History and Civilization - and an interdisciplinary centre, the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, which pursues research into the great political themes of contemporary European societies, and brings together specialists in given themes, favouring international and comparative aspects of research. The EUI also hosts the Max Weber Programme (MWP), the largest postdoctoral training programme in the Social and Human Sciences in the world. The Programme is designed for junior post-docs who want to advance in their research and academic training.
The EUI School of Transnational Governance (STG) delivers teaching and high-level training in the methods, knowledge, skills and practice of governance beyond the State. The School brings the worlds of academia and policy-making together in an effort to navigate a context, both inside and outside Europe, where policy-making increasingly transcends national borders.
It offers Executive Training Seminars for experienced professionals and a Policy Leaders Fellowship for early- and mid-career innovators. It also hosts expert Policy Dialogues and conducts an Oral History project to record the experiences of European Institution presidents.
In 2020, It will launch a policy-focussed Master's programme for graduates. The programme will be structured around cross-disciplinary clusters in various policy fields.Address

Communication activities
Specific programmes and projects are funded through a variety of resources, private and public donors and mainly the European Community: the EUI is involved in research projects covering the various legal, political, social and economic dimensions of the Europeanization processes. Most of these projects are run in cooperation with European and non-European universities.
The EUI hosts the Historical Archives of the European Union Institutions (HAEU), namely the High Authority of the ECSC, The Commission of the EEC, The Council of Ministers, the earlier assembly of European Parliament, the Court of Auditors, the Economic and Social Committee and the European Investment Bank, according to the thirty years of delay of access, except the Commissions of European Parliament available until 1984. This unique col-lection is supplemented by the archives of the OECD, ESA, etc.
Effective dissemination of its high-quality research output is a key objective of the EUI and the RSCAS. Major instruments are the respective websites, where a large number of publications are available online. More recently, the EUI library has launched the new instrument CADMUS, the electronic repository of EUI publications. The Cadmus project's goal is to capture electronic publishing at the EUI and create a unique repository. Each year a considerable number of monographs or edited books, published by prestigious academic publishers, reports the research of professors and fellows at the Institute. Other publications include peer reviewed Working Papers, Policy Papers, the Distinguished Lectures series and edited books resulting from the Institute’s activities.
Research at the Institute is supported by a first class Library in the Social Sciences, and a team of experienced librarians and information specialists. The EUI Library is a ‘hybrid’ library, comprising both traditional resources – books, documents and journals on paper or in microform – and digital resources. The collections include more than 2,200 current printed journals and approximately half a million volumes in law, economics, history and civilization, and political and social sciences, with a special focus on Europe. Most of the Library’s holdings are on open shelving. Via the catalogue, the Library provides access to electronic resources of which nearly 15.000 full text e-journals, over 420.000 e-books, numerous databases and networked CD-ROMs.Other activities
