About EUI
The European University Institute (EUI) is a unique international centre for doctorate and post-doctorate studies and research, situated in the Tuscan hills overlooking Florence.
Since its establishment 40 years ago by the six founding members of the then European Communities, the EUI has earned a reputation as a leading international academic institution with a European focus. The four departments – Economics, History and Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences – host scholars from more than 60 countries, studying for the Institution’s doctorate or one-year masters in law or European economics.
Furthermore, the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) focuses on inter-disciplinary, comparative and policy research on the major issues affecting European societies, while the Max Weber Programme for Post-doctoral Studies prepares fellows for a career in academia.
The EUI’s distinctly international environment offers unique academic training, enriches the intellectual experience and provides exceptional opportunities for academics across disciplines and borders.
The departments and centres are housed in 14 historic buildings scattered about the hillside which have undergone extensive renovation in recent years.
Heads of states, leading politicians and professors are regular speakers at the EUI, as part of the Institute’s long-established programme of conferences, workshops and summer schools.
The EUI library boasts around half a million volumes in the Institute’s specialist areas, attracting external researchers with an interest in Europe. The campus also hosts the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU), which provides an unparalleled insight into the workings of the European Union. In October 2012 the new premises of the HAEU will be opened at Villa Salviati, cementing the EUI’s commitment to preserving the history of Europe.

Robert Schuman Centre
The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) is devoted to inter-disciplinary, comparative, and policy research on the major issues on the European integration process.
In addition to its own faculty, the Centre hosts a large post-doctoral fellowship programme, academic and non-academic visitors, and it is committed to enhance the dialogue with the world of practice.

Max Weber Programme
The Max Weber Programme (MWP) is a postdoctoral training programme in the Social and Human Sciences for those who are in the first five years after receiving their doctorate.
The Max Weber Fellows are offered training in developing professional skills such as teaching, academic writing and publishing and job market presentation. To further develop and enhance the fellows' individual research, each fellow is affiliated with one of the four EUI departments which provide a faculty member as mentor.
The Fellowships are for 1 or 2 years and are appointed in the four disciplines of the EUI, Economics, History and Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences.
The Max Weber Programme proves very successful in placing its fellows in international academia as the Max Weber Fellows Network Map show.
