The European University Institute (EUI) is an international postgraduate and 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 23 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, Law, and Political and Social Sciences. It also offers a selection of master’s programmes and executive education courses. The international student and early-stage researcher body is composed of approximately 1000 scholars representing over 100 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 Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG) with its graduate, fellowship, and executive education programmes.

The European University Institute is a member of The European University of Social Sciences, or CIVICA.^[2]
