Science Group
The research group on European Affairs focuses its work on strategies for the future of the European Union. The group also concentrates on the current process of European integration and on specific regions and countries like the Black Sea, the Middle East or the United States and Russia. Especially important and characteristic for the group is the combination of research on both institutional processes and developments in policies like energy or research and development, justice and home affairs, foreign policy or transatlantic relations. Furthermore, the Research Group is in charge of two standard works on European Integration (Yearbook on European Integration and "Europe from A-Z").
