The Rutgers Center For European Studies is dedicated to the strengthening of multidisciplinary research in European studies at Rutgers, and to the development of intellectual exchanges with European scholars and institutions. In an effort to foster a deeper understanding of the complex history, politics, and culture of Europe, the Center hosts visiting scholars from a wide range of European countries, coordinates the development of major projects and initiates, or supports, a significant number of seminars and public events every year.
