The Institute for European Studies (IES) promotes learning and research about European societies, languages, and cultures, while contributing to the training of a new generation of global citizens. IES was among the first major U.S. university institutes to combine Eastern and Western European studies more than thirty years ago. Since then, we have updated this perspective by placing European countries and the European Union in a global and comparative context. The undergraduate minor in European Studies is administered by IES.
Thirty-two Cornell students from several colleges have been awarded IES graduate and undergraduate fellowships to engage in research in and about Europe.
The Institute for European Studies recognized twenty-three graduating European Studies Minors on May 19, as part of an Einaudi-wide celebration of international studies minors.
