History and teaching
The college was founded in 1988 by various local institutions. The aim was to promote " European Studies " in Parma and the Emilia-Romagna region , and to develop an institute at which one can study European law , European politics and European economics.
In 2003 the college was re-established as a foundation, similar to the institutes of the College of Europe in Bruges and Natolin in Poland . At the same time, the current range of courses was introduced and presented by the President of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, during the opening of the first academic year 2003-2004. The training consists of an interdisciplinary course on the process of European integration. As a degree, the students receive a diploma in Advanced European Studies .
The College's Scientific Committee consists of Cesare Azzali, Martin Bangemann, Andrea Boltho, Etienne Davignon, Jacques Delors, Franco Frattini, Erik Jones, Alfonso Mattera, Franco Mosconi, Ana Palacio and Romano Prodi.
