The SCEUS/Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, founded in July 2007, is a research and graduate and post graduate teaching centre of the University of Salzburg, specialising in studies of the European integration process, particularly in the social sciences, in law and contemporary history.
The SCEUS has a developing research programme organised in four disciplinary clusters. Currently it is focussing on research on the European Social Model within a three year's programme. Thereby the Centre draws on the expertise of many faculty members from the University, as well as those of its own staff (PhD candidates, scholars affiliated with the Centre) and visiting fellows (lecturer-in-residence).
In addition, the SCEUS provides a two-year multidisciplinary MA course in European Union Studies as well as a Doctoral School with eight young scholars engaged in research concentrated on the European Social Model from various disciplinary backgrounds. The Doctoralschool is financed by the Swiss Humer foundation.
The Centre is located in the Edmundsburg, a historic building in the heart of Salzburg, that also accommodates the Stefan Zweig Centre and the literature archive. |
