East Central European Center
The East Central European Center promotes the study of the nations and peoples located between Germany and Russia and between the Baltic and Aegean seas. Established in 1954 with a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, it was the first academic unit in any major U.S. academic institution to deal exclusively with East Central Europe.
