The Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies is an organized
research unit at the University of California,
Berkeley that serves as the focal point for students and faculty who conduct
research and teaching on the geographic
region of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. ISEEES's mission is to
support research, graduate training, and a
broad array of scholarly and public programs—such as conferences,
lectures, faculty and graduate student seminars,
publications, and weekly bag lunch talks. ISEEES also provides funding for
visiting teaching appointments of Slavic, East
European, and Eurasian specialists, both US and foreign, and it hosts
numerous visiting scholars and public figures from
around the world. ISEEES includes the National Resource Center for Russian
and East European studies, funded by a Title VI
grant from the US Department of Education.
