Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies @ UC Berkeley

The Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies serves as the focal point at the University of California at Berkeley for students and faculty who conduct research and teaching on the geographic region of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Currently the Institute has 45 core UCB faculty members and over 150 affiliated graduate students.

ISEEES's mission is to support research, graduate training, and a broad array of scholarly and public programs—such as conferences, lectures, faculty and graduate student seminars, publications, and weekly bag lunch talks. ISEEES hosts numerous visiting scholars and public figures from around the world.

ISEEES is the US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center for Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia at Berkeley. Title VI funding allows ISEEES to support less commonly taught languages at Berkeley and to offer an active program of outreach.
