Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies
The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, created in 1992 and currently directed by Professor
Brigid Laffan, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research on the major issues facing
the process of European integration, European societies and Europe’s place in 21st century global
politics.
The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes, projects
and data sets, in addition to a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is
organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of
European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe’s
neighbourhood and the wider world.

GLOBALCIT
GLOBALCIT is the successor of EUDO CITIZENSHIP, which has been the key reference for the study
of citizenship and the franchise between 2009 and 2017. With the geographic expansion of the
Observatory’s scope the new name reflects our worldwide coverage.
GLOBALCIT provides the most comprehensive source of information on the acquisition and loss of
citizenship in Europe for policy makers, NGOs and academic researchers. Its website hosts a number of
databases on domestic and international legal norms, naturalisation statistics, citizenship and electoral
rights indicators, a comprehensive bibliography and glossary, a forum with scholarly debates on current
citizenship trends, media news on matters of citizenship policy and various other resources for research
and policy-making.
Research for the 2019 GLOBALCIT Reports has been supported by the European University Institute’s
Global Governance Programme, and the British Academy Research Project CITMODES (co-directed
by the EUI and the University of Edinburgh).
The financial support from these projects is gratefully acknowledged.
