Welcome to the Center for European Studies (CES) and the European Union Center of Excellence (EUCE) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our mission is to advance understanding of the social, political, and economic events that shape contemporary Europe, in particular the European integration project. This is accomplished by supporting faculty and graduate student research through our roles as a National Resource Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education and as an EUCE funded by the European Commission.

CES disseminates knowledge about contemporary Europe by enriching our university's work in graduate and undergraduate education and in outreach programs with public schools, business, and media organizations.
