Located in Stanford, CA, Stanford University Encina Hall is home to The Europe Center (TEC), a hub for interdisciplinary research and teaching focused on the histories, cultures, institutions, and people of Europe. Established in 1997, TEC offers a minor in European Studies, supports students with research and internship grants, and hosts scholars from academic institutions across Europe for seminars, conferences, and research visits. One of TEC's notable initiatives is the Rethinking European Development and Security (REDS) seminar series, which delves into critical issues such as the role of imperial powers, national identity, and democracy erosion in Europe. Additionally, TEC serves as a forum for experts to engage in public policy debates regarding Europe's evolving position on the international stage. Through research grants, internships, and public events, TEC contributes to deepening the understanding of Europe and fostering intellectual exchange among scholars, students, and policymakers interested in European affairs.
