Founded in 2010 and a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence since 2016, the UCL European Institute exists to enhance UCL’s position as one of the world’s leading centres for the study of Europe.
Through our academic work and coordination of cross-disciplinary networks and initiatives, we foster an environment where research on Europe can flourish.
We foster engagement with policy professionals, civil society and the public to maximise the reach and impact of UCL ideas and expertise on and across Europe.
