WELCOME
The Center for European Studies-European Union Center (CES-EUC) is a multi-disciplinary research, education, and outreach program dedicated to improving understanding of modern, integrated Europe at the University of Michigan and in the United States. In 2001, CES received a grant from the European Commission to establish a European Union Center; since 2005, U-M's EUC has been one of a handful of Commission-designated European Union Centers of Excellence at leading research universities in the U.S. In collaboration with academic and research units across U-M, other EU Centers of Excellence, and institutions of higher education in Europe, CES-EUC offers an array of public programs, funding opportunities, and innovative curricular outreach on Europe and administers the Netherlands Visiting Professorship, a partnership between U-M and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences initiated in 1950. Since 2008, CES-EUC also works alongside the Center for Russian and East European Studies and Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies in association with the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.
