The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) is an inter-disciplinary research centre at the
heart of the European University Institute (EUI). It was established in 1992 to complement the four EUI
disciplinary departments (Economics, History and Civilization, Law, Political and Social Sciences) with the aim
to be involved in both basic and policy research, collaborate with other centres of excellence in Europe,
provide opportunities for young scholars and promote dialogue with the world of practice. The Centre’s goal is
to maintain an environment and support structure that fosters intellectual curiosity and excellent research. The
research agenda of the Centre is currently guided by three major themes: Integration, Governance and
Democracy; Regulating Markets and Governing Money; and 21st Century World Politics and Europe.
The Florence School of Regulation (FSR) is a center of excellence for independent discussion and
knowledge exchange with the purpose of improving the quality of European regulation and policy. We deliver
academic research, training and policy events in the areas of Energy & Climate, Communications & Media,
Transport and Water.
