What we do

MISSION
The University Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES) is committed to exchanging ideas on Europe. It provides an independent forum for informed debate and a clearing house for information about European affairs. It is directly involved in promoting research and establishing teaching and research networks.

Since 1969, UACES has brought together academics involved in researching and teaching on Europe with practitioners active in European affairs. It encourages people from all disciplines to become involved.

NEWSLETTER
Our quarterly newsletter, 'UACES News', includes conference reports, an events diary, news items, and other information of interest to members. Back copies are available on our website.

CONFERENCES, WORKSHOPS AND STUDY GROUPS
UACES provides support for Conferences, Workshops and Study Groups. Members are encouraged to apply for funding. We also organise an Annual Research Conference which attracts over 200 participants. Members benefit from discounted registration fees when attending conferences.

www.uaces.org AND THE UACES EMAIL LIST
UACES has a regularly updated website, giving details of activities, and providing links to sites of interest, including a listing of Universities offering courses in European Studies. UACES European Studies Online Essays and Reflection Papers have been launched. We also provide members with access to an email list which allows you to access over 700 members.

PUBLICATIONS
'JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies' is the UACES journal, published by Wiley-Blackwell. It includes 'The European Union: Annual Review', and is available to all Individual members at specially negotiated rates.

Now published by Routledge, the 'Contemporary European Studies' series brings together new and established areas of research in the area of European studies.
