The Amsterdam School for Regional and Transnational and European Studies combines humanities and social science-based approaches to the study of Europe and other world regions, and the relations between them.

The Amsterdam School for Regional and Transnational and European Studies was created in September 2014 with the goal of pooling and developing further existing research expertise in transnational and regional studies within the Faculty of Humanities. As an interdisciplinary and transnational Research School, ARTES aims to go beyond traditional ‘area’ and ‘regional’ studies approaches, focusing also on the re-making and relations between world and regional orders, borders, and identities, historically and in today’s world.
