Institute for European Studies - Universite Libre de Bruxelles

The organisation of the IEE-ULB is unique, thanks to its international teams, the interaction with EU institutions, and the strong connection between teaching and research.

History

At the beginning of the 1960s, after the entry into force of the Treaty of Rome, the academic authorities at the ULB decided to create an Institute for European Studies.

Education

The IEE-ULB covers mainly four disciplines: European law, political science, economics and history. As an interdisciplinary centre for research and teaching, it trains specialists in European issues.

Research

The IEE-ULB ensures consistency between its research agenda and its teaching provision. Research evolves according to the construction of Europe and European challenges. In this spirit, the courses are regularly reviewed.

Since its inception, the IEE has been positioned at the forefront of research in European topics. It is certified a “Jean Monnet Center of Excellence (CEJM)”. This confirms the quality of the research conducted on European issues and challenges.

Research at the IEE revolves around 4 themes:

  • Europe as an area of freedom, security and justice
  • Europe as an area of economic and social regulation
  • Europe as a community of norms and values
  • Europe in the world

Career

At IEE-ULB, we prepare our students for their insertion into the marketplace, and into a career in the field of European affairs.

The IEE supports its students in their search for an internship and after their graduation by publishing offers on the intranet, the Virtual University, and the l’ULB Career Center.

We also provide useful addresses via our communication channels and create partnerships with organisations that host our students on a regular basis.

Finally, we organise recruitment and mentoring meetings to promote professional exchanges during the academic year between our current students and our alumni.
