Institute of European Studies – Jagiellonian University in Kraków

The process leading to the foundation of the Institute of European Studies began in 1993 with the establishment of the Inter-faculty Department of European Studies, at the Jagiellonian University. In 1999 the Department was transformed into the Centre for European Studies within the Faculty of Philosophy of the Jagiellonian University. In 2001 the Centre was incorporated into the structure of the Institute of Regional Studies - a unit of the newly established Faculty of International and Political Studies of the Jagiellonian University. In 2004 the Centre was transformed into the Institute of European Studies.

Our highly qualified scientific staff (more than 40 research and teaching staff members) presents an interdisciplinary approach to study and dynamically joins the processes of Europeanization and internationalization of science. The Institute of European Studies team comprises experienced researchers - experts in the field they present, authors of significant European studies publications (in Polish and English) and scholarship holders of prestigious research programmes. Thanks to many years of international cooperation of our staff, the Institute has conducted a record number of European and national research projects, education and training grants (over 90), including the most important of them funded by the European Commission: Horizon 2020, Jean Monnet Networks, Erasmus Mundus. Our administrative staff specialize in managing international research and education projects.
