Background:
Carleton’s Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) is a leading teaching and research program in its field and the first one established in Canada. The Institute hosts unparalleled opportunities for scholarly research and interaction with government, non-governmental agencies and international partners. The Institute also houses a European Union Centre of Excellence and a major network in European studies.

Last fall, the Centre for European Studies (CES) at Carleton University was granted $500,000 for the next three years by the European Commission to continue its cutting-edge work. In 2006, CES was charged with creating a network to co-ordinate all of the Canadian centres of excellence in this field. The designation was renewed last year, securing Carleton’s leadership in this field.
