European Institute publishes Annual Review 2023/24

Europe continues to be marked by profound change and uncertainty. As UCL’s hub for research, education and engagement on Europe we are proud to play a key role in responding to this volatility through a strategic focus on: helping shape and deliver UCL's European strategy; providing innovative, practice-led education; supporting a flourishing research environment for work on Europe at UCL; and extending the impact of UCL's ideas through public, policy and student engagement.

Highlights from this academic year include: the launch of our public exhibition of the European Literary Map of London; a new workstream on European Security in collaboration with the Centre for European Reform; the continuation of our [Black Europe] speaker series, culminating in the Festival of Afro-European Arts, Performance and Scholarship; and a lively programme of over 34 events reaching an audience of over 3500 people. 

We would like to thank our colleagues and collaborators, across the university and beyond, for their support and the critical role they play in the European Institute’s success.
