Center for European Union, Transatlantic, and Trans-European Space Studies

A Jean Monnet Center of Excellence

As a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, CEUTTSS promotes excellence in research as well as in teaching and learning in the inter/multi/trans-disciplinary field of European Studies, the more focused study of the European Union, and Transatlantic Studies. We aim to bring together intra-university experts to create links among the various disciplines and resources in European and Transatlantic Studies at Virginia Tech, while cultivating connections with academic institutions both in Europe and the United States.

CEUTTSS also pursues outreach and engagement activities aiming to foster a dialogue between the academic world and policymakers, in particular with the goal of enhancing the EU’s relations with the United States. In addition, CEUTTSS seeks to play a key role in reaching out to students and educators associated with secondary education, students of continuing and professional education, lifelong learning, the institutions of civil society, and the general public at large.

Special Statement on Ukraine:

The Center for European Union, Transatlantic, and Trans-European Space Studies (CEUTTSS) condemns Russia’s decision to militarily invade Ukraine, as well as Russia’s illegal and unilateral declaration of independence of the separatist territories of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine, which all constitute clear violations of fundamental principles of international law, the UN Charter, of Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and of the Minsk agreement. CEUTTSS calls all members of the international community to respect the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of all states and condemns any decision that runs counter to these fundamental principles of international law.
