Advancing the study of Europe.
About UACES
We are the global membership organisation for academics, students and practitioners interested in all aspects of Europe and the European Union.
UACES was established in March 1, 1968 to promote teaching and research in European studies. We began with a humble meeting of 19 attendees at Chatham House, forming the first UACES committee.
We've grown significantly since. Today, over half of our membership is based outside the UK, reflecting an international community of scholars dedicated to the study of Europe.
Our objective is to advance education for the public benefit through teaching and research in contemporary European Studies. We are a platform to engage in modern European issues through conferences, publications, and collaborative research initiatives. UACES honours passion for EU Studies, fostering an environment of intellectual exchange and cooperation.
UACES is a Registered Charity in England and Wales (no. 1163773).
