The European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC) is an interdisciplinary centre formed by 41 universities from all European Union Member States. It is founded on a commitment to the realisation of the values enshrined in the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, the promotion of high-level inter-disciplinary human rights education, research, training and culture, and a shared global understanding of human rights and democracy. EIUC is located in Venice, Italy.
The most important and prestigious project carried out by EIUC is the European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA). Established in 1997, it continues to develop through the joint efforts of 41 European universities with the support of the EU-institutions under the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR).
The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA) is an intensive and rigorous one-year academic programme to educate professionals in the field of human rights and democratisation, and provide its graduates with practical work experience. It is a multidisciplinary programme that reflects the indivisible links between human rights, democracy, peace and development.
Students of the E.MA enter a vibrant new era of learning where they have the opportunity to meet and be taught by leading academics, experts and representatives of international organisations (including European Union representatives) while studying in a multi-cultural environment.
