Robert Schumann Centre for Advanced Studies The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) was created in 1992 and is currently directed by Professor Erik Jones, and it 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 RSCAS 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.
