Department of History and Civilisation (HEC)
The EUI’s Department of History and Civilisation focuses on global, comparative, and transnational approaches to the history of Europe in the world since 1400. The Department encourages critical reflection on the research, writing, teaching, and dissemination of history across national borders, and empowers researchers to relate and apply historical research to contemporary challenges.
The Alcide de Gasperi Research Centre (ADG), part of the Department, promotes research into the history of European Integration, supports young researchers in the field, coordinates networks of historians, and facilitates the use of primary sources.
