EUROPEUM was founded in 1998 as a civic association by lecturers at the Department of European Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague. The aim was to provide a platform for young researchers and university students interested in various aspects of European integration to develop their potential and capacity. EUROPEUM was built with a strong support of Faculty of Social Sciences and the Tempus program of the European Commission.
It has evolved into a think-tank that undertakes program, project, publishing and training activities related to the European integration matters. EUROPEUM is a member of various international networks of policy and research institutes, including EPIN (European Policy Institutes Network) or PPCI (Public Policy Centers Initiative).
The website contains details of programmes and projects, past and present, papers which can be downloaded and information on research teams and staff.
