DSE

The Danish Association for European Studies

The Danish Association for European Studies is member of the European Community Studies Association (ECSA) and a founding member of the Nordic Association of European Studies (NAES).

Welcome to the homepage of Dansk Selskab for Europaforskning (DSE) (The Danish Association for European Studies), a member of the European Community Studies Association (ECSA) and a founding member of the Nordic Association of European Studies (NAES).

The DSE was founded in 1976. Its mission is to inspire and support the discussion of developments in Europe.The DSE has two official tasks: to support research and teaching in all aspects of European cooperation, be it administrative, economic, historic, legal, political, or social (see statues). You are also welcome to visit our Facebook platform. The aim of this site is to exchange events on what happens in our community, events, books, articles etc.

A central event is the annual conference and general assembly. It gathers a large number of scholars engaged in European studies, who very often work at Danish universities. Although there normally is an overall theme, the conference is broad and interdisciplinary in its approach. The venue alternates among the Danish universities.

The DSE also engages in encouraging and inspiring young scholars, be they PhD-students or Post Docs. They have a network, and arrange events of various kinds like ‘tailor-made’ writing sessions (see PhD and Early Career Network).

Should you be interested in the history and work of the DSE, prof. Finn Laursen has written a most readable account of it.

You are always welcome to contact the DSE. Either take a look at the board, or simply write the president Sevasti Chatzopoulou (seva@ruc.dk), the vice-president Magali Gravier (mg.msc@cbs.dk) or the treasurer Daniel Finke (finke@ps.au.dk).

PhD and Early Career Network

The PhD and Early Career Network is run by and for early career researchers in European Studies, who are based at a Danish university. The network aims at assisting its members in furthering their academic careers. This for instance involves the annual PhD Course in relation to the DSE Conference, and the network has also organized smaller writing retreats for PhD students, where an established scholar gave feedback on their ideas prior to the actual writing taking place. The network is open to all PhD fellows, research assistants, and Postdocs in Denmark, who are working within the field of European Studies, and you can become a member by writing to Anita Nissen.
