Why The European Union?

The European Union is not only an important political and economic institution, but a community of nearly 500 million citizens and one of the largest markets in the world. As the European Union continues to grow in size and influence, understanding the EU and the countries seeking membership, becomes key to understanding Europe and our world. With its central European location, the picturesque city of <a href="//www.iesabroad.org/study-abroad/freiburg>Freiburg makes an ideal starting point for the exploration of the European Union.
