Welcome
The European Union Center of Excellence at the Georgia Institute of Technology was established in Fall of 2008 with the support of a grant from the European Commission. Our goal is to promote wider knowledge and understanding of the European Union and the transatlantic relationship. Building on the natural strengths of Georgia Tech and its commitment to interdisciplinary programs, the Center’s educational, outreach, and research activities will revolve around the theme of “Technological Transformations and Global Challenges in the 21st Century: EU and Transatlantic Strategies for Innovation and Sustainability."
The EUCE sponsors a variety of workshops, conferences, executive roundtables and public talks around the following themes: EU and transatlantic economic governance, energy, innovation and sustainability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), biotechnology and nanotechnology. Read more »
