BU Center for the Study of Europe

BU Center for the Study of Europe Exploring the differences in culture, values, and national experience between the US and Europe since 2002.

The Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University was established in the fall of 2011 to succeed the Institute for Human Sciences (IHS). Its mission is to promote understanding of Europe through its cultural heritage; its political, economic, and religious histories; its art, literature, music, and philosophy; as well as through its recent emergence as a new kind of international form throug

h the European Union. The IHS was established at Boston University in November 2001 as a joint iniative of the University and the Vienna-based Institut fur die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM), an independent, interdisciplinary center for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences, and Boston University. The undertaking was propelled by political circumstances: changes in relations between New and Old worlds wrought by the collapse of the bi-polar world order at the 20th century and the imminent enlargement of the European Union at the beginning of the 21st. The mission of the IHS was to initiate policy-oriented projects of an American-European scope and help to achieve their implementation, as well as to serve as the American base for joint projects with the IWM.
