About the Institute

The Institute for European Studies was estbalished in 1998. It integrates academic research and practical experience in the field of European Social Studies. The Institute addresses social and political aspects of European integration in a national and regional context. In December 2003 the institute was merged into Audentes University.

Since 1998 IES' research work has been organized within three year research policy programmes.

There are studies on the relations, conflicts and co-operation patterns between the states and majority/minority societies of the region. Also around this theme the central question is, how the whole Baltic Sea region could develop toward a genuine security community. The IES has participated in Frankfurt Peace Research Institute's research programme in the area that handles the Baltic Sea region's security issues.
