How to Follow News, Events and Research from the European University Institute (EUI)

Updated

You can follow EUI news, events and research directly on eui.eu: the homepage surfaces featured research stories, special events and institute news, and it includes an EUI Newsletter subscription entry point. This route suits anyone who wants occasional updates without applying to a programme; if you need programme-specific deadlines or funding details, use the programme pages instead.

What you can follow on the site

The homepage is organised as a feed of current highlights rather than a single news archive. From the page evidence, the main content types are:

Content type What it looks like on the site Why follow it
Institute news Items such as the EUI's 50th anniversary celebrations Milestones, institutional changes, community news
Special events E.g. EUI conversations, featuring figures such as Frans Timmermans and Joanna Kamińska, hosted by Provost Josephine van Zeben Public conversations with policymakers and practitioners
Research stories E.g. Diego Vila Martin on energy prices and inequality; Michal Parízek on conflict coverage in world news Short, readable summaries of EUI research
Programme features E.g. the Max Weber Programme's 20th anniversary episode Insight into research training and fellows' work

Each item ends with a "Read more" link, so the homepage works as an index and the detail sits on the linked page.

Step by step: subscribe to the EUI Newsletter

  1. Open eui.eu.
  2. Locate the EUI Newsletter section (it appears as a heading on the homepage).
  3. Follow the subscription entry point there and provide the email address you want updates sent to.
  4. Confirm the subscription if the sign-up flow asks you to.

Expected result: you receive EUI newsletter updates by email. The available page evidence confirms the newsletter exists and is signposted on the homepage; it does not describe the sign-up form itself, so the exact fields and any confirmation step will only be visible on the live page.

Common sticking point: the site's pricing signals mention "subscribe" but no payment platform or price is listed. Treat the newsletter as a sign-up, and check the live page if you are unsure whether a particular item is free or requires an account — the evidence does not settle that either way.

Browsing without subscribing

If you prefer not to hand over an email address, the homepage feed is enough for a periodic check. A practical routine:

  • Skim the top highlights for events (the "Special event" block) and research stories.
  • Open "Read more" only on items relevant to you — for example, if you work on energy policy, the Diego Vila Martin story on energy price spikes and low-income households is the relevant entry.
  • Use the programmes search on the homepage (it accepts queries such as "PhD in Economics") when your interest shifts from news to study options.

Choosing between the two routes

  • Subscribe to the newsletter if you want updates pushed to you and do not want to remember to check the site.
  • Browse the homepage if you want to sample research and event content first, or if you only need EUI material occasionally.
  • Go to programme pages (doctoral, master's, fellowships, executive education) if your real question is about degrees or funding rather than news — the homepage only summarises the educational offer.

What the homepage does not give you

The page evidence covers highlights, not a full archive: there is no described news search, events calendar or research repository on the homepage itself. For a complete picture of publications or a specific event's date and registration, follow the "Read more" links from the relevant item, since those details live on the linked pages rather than in the feed.
