European University Viadrina

The Viadrina was founded in 1991 as a European university with a special mission. It deliberately restricts itself to three disciplines in the broader sense of the humanities (law, economics, culture). It sees itself as a reform university, realising interdisciplinarity and internationality in research and teaching to a particular degree, promoting German-Polish understanding and working towards pan-European integration. It also fulfils its responsibility to society through its special commitment to the regional development of East Brandenburg and the German-Polish interlinked region on both sides of the Oder.
