Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies (ICES)

The Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies (ICES) at Europa-Universität Flensburg (EUF) has, since its foundation in March 2018, continuously expanded and deepened the university’s focus on European Studies as one of the three profile-building research centres at EUF. At the heart of ICES’s work lies research on Europe-related topics, independent of disciplinary boundaries.

By European Studies we understand the multi- and interdisciplinary investigation of historical and contemporary challenges concerning Europe. ICES is a place for research that embraces diverse understandings of Europe. It is characterized by a high degree of inter- and multidisciplinary openness and provides a forum for a reflective engagement with these diverse and multifaceted perspectives.

ICES aims to combine its role as a distinguished hub of excellent European Studies with the best possible support for all scholars engaged in European research at EUF (see Figure 1). To achieve this, ICES focuses on three central areas of activity:

Research Support: We accompany our members from the development of a project idea through the application process to assistance with project administration.
Networking: ICES promotes exchange and cooperation between researchers and projects across disciplinary and institutional boundaries—both within and beyond EUF. At the same time, we serve as a central contact point for representatives from academia, politics, and society with an interest in European Studies.
Early-Career Support: Through the ICES Research School, we provide a forum for the networking of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in the field of European Studies and support them with tailored qualification and advisory services.
