The IEUSS is a network of SUNY faculty and IEUSS fellows with its mission to promote knowledge of the European Union throughout the State of New York. The IEUSS is affiliated with the SUNY Office of Global Affairs. The IEUSS sponsors research, teaching, and service through collaborations with institutions of higher education, K-12, nonprofits, and businesses. To achieve this collaborative element of it mission, the IEUSS co-sponsors K-12 teacher trainings, high school Model European Union simulations, global institutes, conferences, and lectures. It co-sponsors the SUNY Model European Union (SUNYMEU) with a SUNY campus and publishes the SUNYMEU training manual. As a SUNY academic institution, IEUSS is guided by SUNY's mission of providing the highest quality affordable programs with the broadest possible access to the people of New York State.
The IEUSS is governed by a board of SUNY faculty and administrators (with representation of EU scholars from European universities). The IEUSS Board Chair and its Director report the Institute's annual activities to the SUNY Office of Global Affairs and academic administration at partner SUNY campuses.
Website hosted by SUNY Buffalo State as an in-kind contribution to the IEUSS mission.
