The Institute for European Union Studies at SUNY (IEUSS) was founded in 2002 by the SUNY Office of Global Affairs and a group of SUNY faculty dedicated to educating New Yorkers about the European Union. The IEUSS was designed to be a SUNY-wide network of faculty and graduate students devoted to teaching and engaging in scholarship about the European Union. This network includes IEUSS fellows. 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.
Undeniably, the IEUSS's major activity has been its dedication to an annual Model European Union as an extremely effective pedagogy for teaching both undergraduate and graduate students how the EU works. Accordingly, SUNYMEU is a program of the IEUSS. In keeping with its mission as a SUNY-wide EU institute, the IEUSS co-sponsors SUNYMEU with the SUNY Office of Global Affairs and SUNY campuses. IEUSS publishes and disseminates the SUNY Model European Union training manual, co-sponsors research talks and workshops during SUNYMEU, and serves as a partner in grant applications and projects that fund SUNYMEU.
