The '''European University Institute''' ('''EUI''') is an international [[postgraduate education|postgraduate]] and [[postdoctoral research|post-doctoral]] research-intensive university and an [[intergovernmental organisation]] with [[juridical personality]], established by its founding [[member states]] to contribute to cultural and scientific development in the social sciences, in a European perspective. Its main campus is located in the hills above [[Florence]] in [[Fiesole]], [[Italy]]. 

The EUI is funded by its Contracting States, the [[European Union]] (Erasmus+), and its own revenue, drawn from competitive research funding, partnerships with public and private actors, and executive education. 

One of the flagships of the EUI is its doctoral programmes. Each year, it welcomes approximately 130 new PhD researchers at its departments of Economics, History and Civilisation, Law, and Political and Social Sciences. It also offers a selection of master’s programmes and executive education courses. The student and early-stage researcher body is international with scholars representing more than 90 countries. 

Since 1993, the Institute has been home to the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSC), which focuses on the critical issues facing Europe, fostering problem-centred research and serving as a bridge between academia and policymaking. In 2017, the EUI established the School of Transnational Governance (STG) with its graduate, fellowship, and executive education programmes.

==History and member states==
The European University Institute (EUI) was founded in 1972 by the member states of the European Community.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.esteri.it/mae/en/servizi/stranieri/opportunita/progetti-speciali/istitut_europeo_firenze.html |title=European University Institute |publisher=Farnesina |access-date=11 February 2018))</ref>

The EUI finds its origins in the advocacy for a European institute at the 1948 [[Hague Conference]] and the European Conference on Culture the following year in [[Lausanne]]. At the 1955 [[Messina Conference]], when the members of the [[European Coal and Steel Community]] (ECSC) gathered to assess that organisation's progress, the German secretary of state, [[Walter Hallstein]], called for the establishment of a training centre for nuclear sciences.

The idea remained largely dormant until 1969 when European leaders met in [[The Hague]] and resolved to fund a European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. By this point the idea had evolved from a centre for nuclear sciences to one focused on the human sciences, promoting a cultural exchange between member states.

Plans were put into motion with conferences in Florence and Rome in 1970 and 1971, when it was decided that the institute would be reserved for post-graduate studies and not directly a Community institution.

The six member states – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – signed a convention in 1972 establishing the EUI as a pillar for research and development.<ref>((cite journal |url=http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1436893428665&uri=CELEX:41976A0209(01) |title=Convention setting up a European University Institute |year=1976 |journal=[[Official Journal of the European Union]] |volume=С |number=29))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://verdragenbank.overheid.nl/en/Treaty/Details/002632 |title=Convention setting up a European University Institute |access-date=2019-02-10 |publisher=Government of the Netherlands))</ref> The EUI Convention entered into force in 1975, and the institute opened its doors to its first 70 researchers in 1976. Its mission, laid down in the 1970s, is to "foster the advancement of learning in fields which are of particular interest for the development of Europe".

Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom joined the European Community in 1973, and subsequently acceded to the convention establishing the EUI. In 1992, a new convention revising the 1972 convention establishing the EUI was signed by the then 12 Community member states.<ref>((cite web |url=https://verdragenbank.overheid.nl/en/Treaty/Details/005199.html |title=Convention revising the Convention setting up a European University Institute |access-date=2019-02-10 |publisher=Government of the Netherlands))</ref> It entered into force in 2007 when the last contracting state ratified the convention.

EUI contracting states must be European Union member states. 
((as of|2023|December)), contracting states include all EU member states except [[Croatia]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Hungary]], and [[Lithuania]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.eui.eu/About/HistoryofEUI|title=A Brief History of the EUI |access-date=2020-03-03 |publisher=European University Institute))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://www.eui.eu/Documents/AboutEUI/Convention/Consolidated-ConventionpostMalta-20180901.pdf |title=Convention setting up a European University Institute as revised by the 1992 amending Convention |access-date=2019-02-16 |publisher=European University Institute))</ref>

[[File:Fonds from HAEU being moved (8056171158).jpg|thumb|right|[[Fonds]] from the HAEU being moved.]]
The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) was established following the 1983 decision of the [[European Coal and Steel Community|European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC)]] and the 1983 regulation by the Council of the European Communities to open their historical archives to the public. 

A 1984 agreement between the Commission of the European Communities and the European University Institute located the Archives in Florence, at the EUI, and in 1986 the HAEU opened its doors to the public. It is the single, official archival repository of the institutions, bodies, and agencies of the European Union, and also holds more than 160 private archives of European personalities, politicians, movements, and associations that played an important role in [[European integration]]. It has been in its current seat, in Villa Salviati, since 2012. Users may consult the Archives' [https://archives.eui.eu/search?search-terms= online database] for descriptions of the documents, audiovisual materials, and artefacts in its deposits. Archival materials may be consulted in the HAEU reading room according to the thirty-years rule, or online where possible. The HAEU supports research on European integration through the administration of several grant programmes.

==Doctoral and Master's Programmes==

=== Doctoral Programme===

The EUI offers fully funded structured doctoral programmes in the field of [[economics]], [[history]] and civilisation, [[law]], and political and [[Social science|social sciences]]. Around 130 research grants are awarded annually by the EU Member States and other European national authorities to successful candidates. A PhD from the European University Institute is an internationally recognised qualification.

The doctoral programmes prepare candidates for outstanding career prospects within academia, international organisations, and the public and private sectors. The Institute is characterised by its thriving intellectual climate, rich in seminars, conferences, and events, hosting leading academics and policymakers from around the world. Notably, researchers have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including an extensive research library and the Historical Archives of the European Union.

In addition, the EUI provides workshops and training designed to foster academic and professional development, opportunities for international exchange programmes and placements, support for wellbeing, and many extra-curricular activities. In 2022, the completion rate remained high in the doctoral programmes, with 88.5% of candidates admitted in cohorts 2011 to 2015 completing the doctorate.

====Grants and fees====
There are funding options available to doctoral researchers, with the majority of EU member states offering grants that cover living costs and tuition fees. There are additional agreements with non-EU member states, while the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the EUI itself provide grants pertaining to several other countries. Academics not covered by grants must seek funding from a foundation or public body, pay €15,000 each year in tuition fees, and be able to guarantee at least €1,380 monthly to cover living costs, although fees may be reduced or waived under specific conditions.

PhD grants are determined (and generally paid) directly by the Member States. Whilst the EUI Convention's Declaration says that States should aim for grants to be 'comparable',<ref>((Cite web|date=|work=Declaration to Article 17 (p29)|title=Consolidated version following the exit of the United Kingdom (as of 21 February 2020)|url=https://www.eui.eu/About/Convention))</ref> there is wide variation in grants. This is in addition to wide variation in conditions (such as healthcare, parental leave, and other grants). Additionally, whilst the EUI pays the same grant to all fourth-year PhD researchers (€1,505 the amount it estimates as necessary to live in Florence<ref>((Cite web|title=Living in Florence|url=https://www.eui.eu/ServicesAndAdmin/HealthAndFamily/LivingInFlorence|access-date=2022-02-09|website=European University Institute))</ref>), several States top this up.

[[Image:Campanile4.JPG|thumb|Badia Bell Tower]]
The European University Institute is seated in Fiesole on the Tuscan hillside overlooking Florence. The headquarters are at the Badia Fiesolana. 

The campus is spread across 12 villas in the area, many of which date back to the Renaissance period and have been restored along with their landscaped gardens. The EUI campus also includes Palazzo Buontalenti in the historic centre of Florence at the [[Casino Mediceo di San Marco]], which has been home to the STG since 2021.

==Organisation==
The main governance bodies are the High Council (composed of the Member State delegates) and the Academic Council. The president of the institute is Professor [[Patrizia Nanz]], who is assisted in his duties by the institute's secretary general, [[Marco Del Panta]].

[https://www.eui.eu/ServicesAndAdmin/CommunicationsService/Publications/CorporatePublications Corporate publications] produced by the EUI include:

* [https://www.eui.eu/Documents/web2021/eui-activity-report-2022.pdf EUI Activity Report]
* Annual Directory of EUI Academic Publications

The EUI Research Repository ([https://cadmus.eui.eu/ Cadmus, EUI Research Repository]) contains the academic publications by the members of the EUI, with open-access, full text-versions of publications (working papers, books, contributions to books, e-Books, articles, and theses).

=== EUI and CIVICA Alliance ===
The European University Institute (EUI) is a member of [https://www.civica.eu/ CIVICA], a prominent alliance of ten leading European higher education institutions. With a combined enrolment of 72,000 students and PhD candidates, CIVICA represents a dynamic force in European academia. Selected by the European Commission in 2019 as one of the pioneering alliances under the European Universities Initiative, CIVICA completed its pilot phase in 2022, embarking on a new four-year journey. 

In 2022, over 50% of EUI PhD researchers engaged in events or activities organised by other European universities, with one-third of these interactions occurring within the CIVICA alliance. Additionally, more than 600 early-stage researchers from outside the EUI benefited from the Institute's offerings, including those facilitated by CIVICA.

EUI scholars have actively contributed to the CIVICA Research Excellence Tours, offering lectures on topics such as biodiversity governance and voter bias against politicians of immigrant origin. In 2022, the EUI played a significant role in the CIVICA Open Science Initiative. Under the auspices of CIVICA Research, the Digital Trade Integration Project achieved a major milestone with the publication of an Open Access database covering regulatory policies related to the [[digital economy]] across 100 countries. 

=== EUI and the European Research Council ===
During 2022, the EUI was host to no less than 13 [[European Research Council]] (ERC) grants, of all types, including two partners in a Synergy project. 

The funded projects touch on fundamental social science and humanities themes such as identity, and the nature of tolerance, [[Inclusion (education)|inclusion]], and [[solidarity]]; key histories of capitalism, globalisation, financial risk and economic thought; challenges at the top of policy agendas today, such as [[Digital transformation|digitalisation]], [[Human migration|migration]] and [[democracy]], risk and [[crisis management]], and the provision of [[social welfare]]. 

=== '''[https://www.eui.eu/en/public/about/eui-widening-europe-programme EUI and the widening countries]''' ===
The European University Institute has a comprehensive training programme aimed at equalising academic excellence and research capabilities across Europe. This initiative includes various capacity-building activities, support for early-stage to mid-career researchers, and a focus on closing knowledge gaps and fostering international collaboration in the widening countries.

==Alumni==
Many researchers who have taken doctorates at the EUI are employed as professors or lecturers in leading universities, officials in European Institutions and international organisations, or hold positions in government administration.

More than 30% of all EUI alumni now occupy senior positions in their chosen career paths; 69% of EUI graduates go on to careers in academia or research (universities and research centres); 19% develop their careers in the private sector and in national public authorities; and 12% play a role in the international arena by joining European institutions and other international organisations
