The Europe Center
Stanford's hub for the interdisciplinary study of Europe
Founded in 1997, The Europe Center (TEC) at Stanford University is an interdisciplinary center for research and teaching on the histories, cultures, institutions, and people of Europe. We offer a minor in European Studies and support undergraduate and graduate students with research and internship grants. We welcome scholars from academic institutions across Europe for seminars, conferences, and research visits. TEC holds regular public events, including our Rethinking European Development and Security (REDS) seminar series, which seeks to deepen the research agenda on issues critical to all of Europe, including the role of imperial powers, internal divisions, national identity, and the erosion of democracy.
