The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) is an interdisciplinary research centre at the heart of the European University Institute (EUI). It was established in 1993 to complement the four EUI disciplinary departments of Economics, History, Law, and Political and Social Sciences, with the goal of developing cutting-edge academic research and using that research to engage with a wide variety of stakeholders in the public and private sector. The results of the Centre’s research often become policy output in the form of publications and public events, where academics, policy-makers, members of civil society, and representatives of business exchange knowledge and build solutions to face the challenges of our time. In doing so, the Centre provides opportunities for younger scholars and established researchers to participate in a sustained dialogue with the world of practice. This problem-centred research agenda is necessarily thematic and interdisciplinary. It also extends beyond the traditional domain of the four disciplinary departments in ways that connect with other centres of excellence in Europe and globally.
The Development and External Relations (DEXT) service provides strategic support to EUI management and stakeholders by aligning institutional goals with broader societal needs. The areas covered by the DEXT service include strategy and development; research support, under the authority of the Provost for Research and External Relations; corporate and private strategic fundraising; external relations and alliances; engagement with the private, corporate and non-profit sectors; and alumni relations. The DEXT service contributes to the relations with Member States and High Council delegation and promotes the visibility of the EUI in the Member States and beyond.
The EUI Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG) trains tomorrow's leaders on the concepts, methods and practices of governance beyond the state. It offers policy leader fellowships, executive training and high-level policy dialogues. The School launched a Master’s programme in transnational governance in 2020 and a Global Executive Master in 2024.
