"I am a member for 30 years. UACES is the perfect context for me to meet people and to further my research. The whole interdisciplinarity of it I find fascinating. There are linguists, like me, there are lawyers, economists, political scientists, sociaologists. And that all very much fits in with how I've approached my own research area."

"For me, it was really important to be part of the European Studies community and UACES is the organisation to join if you want to be part of that community. I've been involved in the Graduate Forum since I have started my PhD as one of the main facets of the Graduate Forum is to provide a space for PhD students on all levels."
