The European University Institute (EUI) https://www.eui.eu 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 the one-year master in law. 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 School of Transnational Governance, established in 2017, aims to 
deliver teaching and high level training on the concepts, methods and 
techniques of transnational governance.
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 13 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.

Research at the Institute is supported by the EUI Library 
https://www.eui.eu/Research/Library and by a team of about 20 experienced 
librarians and information specialists.
More than forty years of investment in collections, services and 
infrastructure, have resulted in an internationally recognised social science 
research library, valued for its multi-national character and the high quality 
of its collections with a special emphasis on Europe. Most of the Library's 
print holdings are on open shelving. In addition, the Library provides its 
users access to an extensive collection of databases, full text e-journals, 
e-books and e-working papers. The Library has the status of European 
Documentation Centre (EDC), an official depository of EU publications and 
documents.
The EUI subscribes to the principle of Open Access. Library staff strives to 
work with the academic community to increase the content, coverage and 
visibility of the EUI research repository, Cadmus.
