Welcome

The Ronald and Eileen Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia works in common association with the Center for European Studies-European Union Center, Center for Russian and East European Studies, and Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies at the University of Michigan International Institute. Inaugurated in 2008 thanks to the generosity of Ambassador Ronald Weiser and Eileen Weiser, WCEE is dedicated to enhancing interdisciplinary knowledge about, and public engagement with, the institutions, cultures, and histories of Europe and Eurasia.
