Founded in 1998, the European Union Center (EUC) serves as the focal point for teaching, research, and outreach on the European Union at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a Center, we are dedicated to promoting scholarly research on the EU as a national resource center, strengthening curricula on the EU across campus, educating the next generation of experts on EU and transatlantic affairs, and reaching out to K-12 educators and students, businesses, government leaders, the media, and the general public to deepen understanding between the peoples of the US and the EU.

The EUC is privileged to work with Center-affiliated faculty, many of whom are internationally-renowned experts in their fields.
