EU BRUSSELS | 22-24 OCTOBER 2012 CENTRES WORLD MEETING networKING CONFERENCE CENTRE PROFILES Organised by the European Union The profiles included in this publication were drafted by European Union Centres in view of their participation in the networking conference held in Brussels, 22-24 October 2012. They outline the activities of each Centre and provide information on the key people involved, as well as contact details. The Centres were set up over the years, and thus may be called differently in the various regions in which they operate. In the US and Canada they are called ‘European Union Centres of Excellence’, in Japan ‘European Union Institutes’, in Macao and Hong Kong ‘European Union Academic Programmes’, and in the remaining countries and territories ‘European Union Centres’. Over the period 2007-2013, the European Union Centres are financed by two EU external action instruments: the Instrument for Cooperation with Industrialised and other high- income countries and territories (ICI) and the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument (ENPI).

External relations are not just about international summits and meetings between government officials, but also about helping people in different countries to understand each other better. That is why in 1998 the European Commission launched a pilot project to establish a network of European Union Centres in North American universities. The aim was to provide information about the European Union and to encourage greater understanding of the EU and its policies. Since then, building on the success of this pilot project, the programme has grown into a wide network. Presently, 37 EU centres have been established across the world with the financial support of the European Union. Universities in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Russia, Macao and Hong Kong have been selected in recognition of the high quality, variety and depth of their EU study activities. EU Centres promote greater understanding of the EU and stronger relations between the EU and the partner country through teaching programmes and research. They are complementary to the outreach efforts of our Delegations with which they often work together. In addition, Centres reach out beyond the academic world to their local communities, offering a valuable source of information on the EU for local businesses, civil society, government officials and the media. The aim of this third ‘World Meeting of EU Centres’ is to focus on the best practices in outreach and communication activities, and to improve EU Centres’ networking and interaction to the benefit of all. It is therefore my pleasure to introduce this brochure, which provides information about each EU Centre, its structure and activities. I wish you all an enjoyable and fruitful meeting.
