University Institute of European Studies
Institution Info
Founded in 1952 by several of Turin’s leading institutions, the University Institute of European Studies was assigned the central mandate of fostering international relations, and European integration in particular, through a wide range of activities.
The Institute organises post-graduate and ad hoc courses, conducts research projects and publishes texts and information bulletins. Its information service is linked to the databases and documentation centres of a number of international organisations and it also has an international library. Since its re-organisation in 1977, the Institute has acquired a higher profile in scientific research and post-graduate education in the fields of European integration and international relations through the training of international experts and officials and the promotion of joint activities with European and international organisations.
The backbone of the Institute’s educational programmes (which have now been attended by more than 2000 students) is formed by the more than one thousand individuals from more than 30 countries who have delivered lectures and who are chosen from among university faculty members, experts of public and private institutions and officials of a range of international organisations.
