​​​​​​​​​​​The Institute carries out comparative studies and applied research on federal, regional and local governmental trends predominantly, but not exclusively, from a legal perspective. We investigate the legal tools for coping with the management of ever more complex governance and decision-making processes in multi-level systems both within Europe and worldwide. South Tyrol's well-established, far reaching self-government arrangement and asymmetrical autonomy within regional Italy and the location at the border of 'mature' federations, puts the Institute in a privileged position to observe and analyze, inter alia:

• ​Autonomies: Italy and South Tyrol​
• Autonomies Compared: Subnational and Local​
• Institutional Innovation and Participatory Democracy
• Fiscal Federalism
• Environmental Policy and Law in Multilevel Systems

A trilingual approach (German, Italian and English) characterizes our research, publications, conferences, training programs, and consultancy activities and makes our research results available to a wide variety of target groups. We are member of the International Association of Centres for Federal Studies (IACFS) and of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR).

EUreka! - We've launched a blog!

https://blogs.eurac.edu/eureka/

Our EUreka! blog wants to shed light on some of the most relevant issues for the future of the European Union – intended as a whole but also as the sum of 28 (now 27) different countries –, contributing to the construction of a conscious and informed public opinion. Given the EU’s motto, “United in diversity”, and the idea of the EU as a supranational entity made of different cultures, traditions and languages, EUreka! will try to bring out stories and interdisciplinary aspects otherwise neglected in the general discussion on the European Union.
