Welcome to the Institute for European Studies

The Viadrina Institute for European Studies (IFES) conducts interdisciplinary research on social, political and cultural figurations on the European continent and its global entanglements. The institute focuses both on historical and contemporary processes of Europeanisation, paying particular attention to their inherent complexities and ambivalences. Through its research, the IFES seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of Europe and to foster a critical perspective within the field of European studies.
