Ein besonderes Augenmerk des IEP gilt dem Auf- und Ausbau des Regelwerks für europäisches Regieren (Grundlagen, Struktur und Institutionen). Aktuelle Reformdebatten (vor allem Änderungen der Verträge) und europapolitische Langzeittrends werden aus Sicht verschiedener Akteure beleuchtet und interdisziplinär bewertet.

Study Programme on European Security (SPES)
The Study Programme on European Security (SPES) for PhD students, post-docs and young professionals from Central and Eastern Europe is conducted by the Institut für Europäische Politik (IEP) and supported by the Volkswagen Foundation.
The programme is aimed at promoting the work of young academics and experts from Central and Eastern Europe with a thematic focus on the future role of the EU in European and global security policy. The programme provides an opportunity for the grantholders to establish stronger links with "West European" research networks and to present their views concerning security issues in Europe.
9 fellows - ranging from excellent PhD candidates to junior professors or professionals of similar qualification " have been selected and will receive support for their research, the publication of their results and sojourns in Berlin.

EU-27 Watch
Starting with the issue 9th of EU-27 Watch, the internet platform www.eu-27Watch.org provides the reader with new functions making it easier to access the reports. Laid out in four segments, the platform provides the reader with a comparative introduction, a list of responses sorted by country, a list of responses sorted by question, and a timeline listing all major events in EU politics since 2004. All texts are available in HTML and PDF format. All back issues of the EU-27 Watch and the Enlargement/Agenda 2000-Watch are available as well.
Concept
Since 2004 the EU-27 Watch has provided a rich and unique set of material compiling national debates on European policy. The key objective of the EU-27 Watch is to follow national debates concerning EU deepening and widening. Based on event-driven questionnaires researchers from established research institutes write the country reports.
Additionally, each issue contains an introductory chapter, which gives an overview on the subjects dealt with, and a chronology of the main events during the reporting period. The annotations in the country reports give easy access to important documents, commentaries, and literature published in the reporting countries.
Between 1998 and 2003, the predecessor of the EU-27 Watch, the Enlargement/Agenda 2000-Watch, monitored the accession and negotiation process as well as the internal reform process, known as Agenda 2000. Thus the EU-27 Watch has been monitoring debates on EU-policy for 12 years and provides a unique source for diachronic analyses.
Partners
The EU-27 Watch No. 9 receives significant funding from the Otto Wolff-Foundation, Cologne, in the framework of the "Dialog Europa der Otto Wolff-Stiftung" and financial support from the European Commission. The European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein.
