About Centre for Europe
The Centre for Europe at the University of Warsaw was established in October 1991 and was the first institution of its kind in Poland. The Centre is an autonomous interfaculty institute specializing in European Studies. The Centre for Europe focuses its research and teaching activities on political, economic, legal as well as cultural and social aspects of European development within an interdisciplinary framework. The Centre’s main research areas include: the European Union’s position and role in international relations, its security and neighbourhood policies, the financial dimension of the integration and the extension of the Euro zone, the EU’s role in international trade, the legitimisation and democratisation of the EU, globalisation and governance in the EU and the development of civil society in times of globalisation, European cultural heritage and the anthropology of a New Europe. The Centre's primary objectives are to promote, initiate and support research and education in European Studies; to develop the European and international collaborative research network and to create a broad forum for the exchange of ideas.
The fact that the Centre has been awarded one of the highest marks in the classification of the State Committee for Scientific Research is evidence of its high level of development and high position in the research ranking. The Centre for Europe performs its tasks by:
- undertaking educational and training activities,
- conducting academic research and executing sponsored research projects,
- organising conferences, seminars and academic meetings,
- performing actions under the Publishing Programme,
- cooperating and organising academic exchange with foreign partners,
- maintaining the Library of the Centre for Europe and the European Documentation Centre.
