European Council

The European Council is one of five regional councils operating under the auspices of the System Council for International Education of the University System of Georgia.

Membership in the European Council is open to all University System of Georgia colleges and universities, as well as to accredited non-System universities in the State of Georgia. Institutions appoint campus representatives to the council, and these representatives coordinate council activities at their institutions. Other faculty, staff, or administrators are welcome to attend council meetings. For more information about council activities or meetings, contact the appropriate institutional representative on the EC Campus Representatives and Members List. To foster greater understanding and appreciation of the cultures and societies of Europe, the European Council sponsors a variety of activities and programs for faculty and students.

The European Council sponsors large summer study programs for students in major locations in Europe, including St. Petersburg, Berlin Madrid, Paris, Waterford and London. In courses taught largely by faculty from Georgia colleges and universities, students blend classroom experiences with group and individual travel as they earn academic credit at their home institutions. These programs bring together students and faculty from across Georgia to share in four or five week intensive learning and travel ventures.

ISEP is a network of more than 300 colleges and universities in 44 countries cooperating to provide affordable access to international education for a diverse student population. ISEP students gain intercultural competence through integration into their host institution and host culture while exploring the international dimensions of their academic field.
