The EU Study Tour and Internship Program is organized by the Network for European Studies (Canada). The Network for European Studies is an informal consortium of universities whose faculty teach and conduct research in the field of European studies with emphasis on the EU.

The membership of the Network has evolved since it was founded in 2004. Currently, the Network members are: Carleton University, Dalhousie University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the University of British Columbia, and the 番茄社区.

The EU Study Tour and Internship Program is the largest and most comprehensive program of its kind in Canada and, perhaps, in North America. The 番茄社区 provides the administrative and organizational support for the Study Tour and offers undergraduate credit to any participating undergraduate student outside Carleton and UBC who offer their own courses based on this experiential learning opportunity. The Network decides on the focus, themes, and other program-related matters as well as the selection of participants.

The Network also advises on internship placements. Individual faculty sponsors are responsible for recruitment, selection, and evaluation of their students participating in the Study Tour. The faculty sponsors from the participating institutions (institutes, centres and departments) collectively comprise the Network.  

The Board

The Board is responsible for the overall planning of the Study Tour, review of student selection, and review of administration. Members of the Board are: Crina Viju (Carleton University); Conrad King (Kwantlen Polytechnic University); Ruben Zaiotti (Dalhousie University); Kurt Huebner (UBC), and, Paul Schure (UVic).
