Kore University of Enna is a member of the National Consortium of Italian state and non-state universities to which the Doctorate of National Interest in European Studies – XXXIX cycle – established in the academic year 2023/2024, with administrative headquarters at the University of Genoa, belongs.

The Doctorate aims to deepen the scientific knowledge of the process of European integration in its long-term evolution, from the historical, political, economic-social and legal points of view, qualifying itself for a strongly interdisciplinary methodological approach, in the belief that the study of Europe, its history, its public policies, its economic and commercial achievements and its institutions can be effectively addressed only through the interaction between the various disciplines, in their different articulations.
The Doctorate is divided into three curricula:
“History of the idea of Europe and European integration”,
“European economic and social policies”,
“Multilevel Governance and Fundamental Rights”.
Interdisciplinary training will be guaranteed, on the one hand, by the organization of lecture cycles and events in person at the various associated universities and by common online courses;
on the other hand, by an annual interdisciplinary Summer School in collaboration with the University Association of European Studies (ECSA Italy). Collaborations are also planned with numerous national, European and international study centres, including the University Association of European Studies (AUSE), the Interuniversity Research Centre on European Integration (CRIE), TO-EU Centre for European Studies of the Department of Culture, Politics and Society of the University of Turin, the Centre for Studies on Federalism of Turin, the Spinelli Centre of the University “La Sapienza” of Rome, the Einstein Centre for International Studies (CESI), the Centre of Excellence – Punto Europa of Forlì, the Collège d';Europe of Bruges, the Centre européen Robert Schuman, the Centre International de formation européenne (CIFE), the Fondation Jean Monnet pour l'Europe, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the Robert Triffin International Foundation, the Historical Archives of the European Union of Florence, the network of the birthplaces of the founding fathers of Europe, and European networks of young scholars.
