The European University Institute located in
Florence, is an international doctoral and postdoctoral research institute,
established by the EC Member States in 1976. Today, 560 PhD candidates, 100
post-doctoral fellows and 60 Professors work in the fields of Economics, History
& Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences.
125 doctorates
were awarded in 2007. The EUI has a prestigious interdisciplinary research
centre: the Robert Schuman Centre for
Advanced Studies. In 2006 the postdoctoral
Max Weber Programme was
launched.
The EUI Library
The collection consists of over 550,000 volumes with a steadily increasing
number of electronic resources, including more than 6,000 electronic journals.
The EUI Library grows by approximately
11,000 volumes per year. Special collections include
statistical data,
official
publications of the European Union and other international organisations,
working papers, and a large collection of
microforms.
145 work spaces are available for Library users – supplemented by many more
around campus. Scholars also have access to the
Historical Archives of the European
Union, which is administered by the EUI. |

The Economics
Collection
Combined holdings in Econometrics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics and
Statistical Theory constitute approximately one quarter of the Library
total. Economics is particularly well represented among online journals and
online databases.
The collection
of economic literature at the EUI has grown steadily over the past
thirty years – guided by expert librarians and
international faculty. Today,
economists have access to a carefully-selected collection of journals, books
and economic data – and a steadily growing number of e-Books. [Read
the Collection Profile.]
Support services for economists include: a
Reference
Library for seminar support and an in-Department library help-desk.
Since 2003, the Library has issued a weekly Economics & Statistics
e-Bulletin providing updates on collection development, new acquisitions,
and how to access data from
EUI Library resources and the world wide web.
The Collection and services are used by Professors, Fellows and PhD
Candidates in the Economics Department
– and also by post-doctoral fellows working on economic-related topics in
the Max Weber Programme,
the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced
Studies and other academic departments.
