About us
Institute for European Integration
The academic activities of the Europa-Kolleg take place at the Institute for European Integration. The Institute has existed since 1978. It is an academic institution at the University of Hamburg and enjoys the constitutional freedom of research and teaching.
The Institute's mission is to stimulate and conduct interdisciplinary research in the field of European integration and integration in other regions of the world, either alone or together with other academic institutions. Foreign researchers are invited to work on their projects as part of a guest stay at the Institute. In addition to research projects, academic conferences and lecture events are also organized.
Together with the University of Hamburg, the Institute has academic responsibility for the development and implementation of teaching, particularly in the Master's program in European and European Legal Studies.
The Institute's academic activities are reflected in numerous publications. Institute members also comment on European integration issues in the relevant media. The Institute has a specialist library, a reading room and attractive workrooms for academics.

Research seminar
Institute for European Integration
As part of our research seminar, which we established in 2014, we regularly invite academics with a connection to the Institute to give specialist presentations on topics relating to European integration. In particular, the seminar also offers our visiting guest researchers the opportunity to present their research projects and discuss current developments in the fields of law, politics and economics with an interdisciplinary group of participants.
