The European Studies Alliance pursues research projects that:
(1) bring together groups of scholars from Europe and the United States;
(2) encourage multi-and interdisciplinary approaches;
(3) combine theoretical structures with real public policy outcomes;
(4) are accessible to publics beyond the university.

The European Studies Alliance supports the efforts of the UW-Madison Libraries to provide a wealth of resources for those on campus who are interested in Europe. Memorial Library is an EU Depository, and has additional extensive holdings of Europe-related books, reference materials, and journals. ESA/library collaboration has been particularly strong in the development of online resources for scholars of Europe, including:

• Historical Research in Europe: A guide to archives and libraries
• Current Europe: A Guide to Resources for the Social Sciences
• The online European Union Guide

Each Center supports transatlantic and cross-disciplinary research projects relevant to its respective interests. These include

• Center for German and European Studies Research Collaboratives
• Center for German and European Studies Working Paper Series
• European Union Center of Excellence Research Themes


• European Union Center of Excellence Publications
• Center for European Studies Working Paper Series

Workshops and conferences supported by ESA Centers bring internationally-recognized scholars to UW-Madison to share latest findings and often to launch new transatlantic research endeavors. More on these efforts can be found here:
