About CEUS The Centre for European Union
Studies (CEUS) has been designated as a ‘Jean Monnet Centre of
Excellence' in teaching and research by the European Commission
since 1999. In the United Kingdom, CEUS is one of the longest
established and most research active centres dedicated to the study
of European Union (EU) governance and politics. CEUS hosts a Jean
Monnet Chair in European Union Studies. CEUS is administered from
the Department of Politics and International Studies and was
established to promote the inter-disciplinary study of the European
Union (EU) and wider Europe. |
It runs a seminar
series, organises conferences, hosts the annual Jean Monnet
lecture and is involved in many other events (such as
workshops, the Euro Info week for local businesses and conferences
for schools). CEUS also publishes a research working paper series
which can be downloaded for free from this website. It provides an
intellectual home for a lively postgraduate research community
which is strongly encouraged to get involved in its activities.
CEUS researchers have a wide range of expertise and have
produced a large number of well regarded publications on European
and EU governance and politics issues. Recent research and
publications have focused, for example, on EU institutions
(including the Commission, European Parliament and the office of
the Presidency), the Europeanisation of member states (such as the
UK, Germany, France, Austria, Sweden and Southern European member
states including Italy, Portugal and Spain), EU external relations,
new modes of EU governance, EU environmental policy and ‘new'
environmental policy instruments as well as other common policies.
CEUS researchers have special expertise also on issues such as EU
technology and industrial policies, the information society and
European integration, the EU and e-governance, the EU's role as a
global actor (including EU-Chinese relations, EU-Russian relations
and EU-US relations) as well as on member state domestic politics
(in particular the politics of Austria, Britain, France, Germany,
Poland, Portugal and Sweden) and member state
parliaments.
Aims and objectives of the Centre:
The main aims of CEUS are to
- promote academic excellence in research, publications and
education on EU-related issues and wider Europe;
- provide a stimulating interdisciplinary research environment
for staff and students;
- foster understanding of the EU in the region
