EUCE Calendar

The UW-Madison's EU Center of Excellence pursues a broad range of activities to make the European Union more comprehensible and thus accessible for students, scholars, the business community, journalists, politicians and all citizens of Wisconsin, the Midwest, and in the United States.

We would welcome any questions you might have about planned events, and we would be especially pleased to hear about your ideas for possible events in the future.
