Center for European Studies

The Center for European Studies promotes interdisciplinary research and study of Europe, and advances the study of European politics, history, economy, culture and languages in collaboration with academic programs, professional schools, language programs and research centers across campus and Syracuse University's study abroad centers.

The center fulfills its mission through seminars, conferences, speaker series, culture and conversation tables and research grants. We also provide leadership in building transatlantic and global networks via international partnerships, collaborative projects and programs.
