European University Institute (EUI)

The European University Institute, located in Florence, is an international centre for doctoral and post-doctoral studies and research in the social sciences and humanities. The EUI was opened in 1976 and has four departments: Economics, History and Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences. The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) focuses on inter-disciplinary, comparative and policy research on the major issues affecting European societies. The Max Weber Programme for Post-doctoral Studies prepares fellows for a career in academia. The School of Transnational Governance (STG) delivers teaching and high-level training in the methods, knowledge and practice of governance beyond the State.

The Library supports the EUI research community with world-class collections of online journals, statistical databases, books and ebooks – as well as a variety of in-department Library support services. There is a strong emphasis on electronic access.

Nearly forty years of investment in library collections, services and infrastructure, has resulted in an internationally recognised social science research facility, valued for its multi-national character and the high quality of its collections, with a special emphasis on Europe.
