About UACES

UACES (University Association for Contemporary European Studies) is a global membership charity for academics, students, and practitioners interested in all aspects of Europe and the European Union.

Our core purpose is to support and empower our community to advance education for the public benefit through the teaching and research of contemporary European Studies.

Our 1,000+ members have backgrounds in various disciplines, including politics, international relations, law, sociology, economics and humanities.

Why European studies matters

European Studies is essential for understanding the history, politics, economics, and societies of Europe, as well as its influence on the world and our collective future.

The interdisciplinary nature of European Studies enables diverse perspectives on contemporary challenges such as social equity, sustainability, security, trust, and digital transformation - issues that resonate far beyond Europe's borders.

Crucially, European Studies bridges the gap between academia and society, shaping public discourse, informing policymaking, and addressing complex, real-world problems with a multidisciplinary lens.

As a hub for European Studies, UACES empowers a global community of scholars, educators, and practitioners. Together, we advance research, foster collaboration, and equip society to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
