The Institute takes an interdisciplinary approach, including aspects of economic theory and policy, legal sciences, and political science in its research. Besides its research focus on internal issues of European Integration (Internal Market, EMU, EU institutions) it covers also economic and legal issues of EU external relations, world trade, international investment and regional economic integration. The Institute strives to consistently publish the results of its research in European and international journals and publishing houses and to develop its international research cooperations.
