The Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences (IE RAS), was founded in 1987 as a result of the growing interest to the European region in the Soviet Union as a new academic center aimed at comprehensive research of the profound changes, taking place in Europe, and evaluation of their prospects and consequences. The Institute was founded by its present Director Emeritus, academician V.V. Zhurkin. In 1999-2014, it was headed by academician N.P. Shmelev (18.06.1936 – 6.01.2014). At present, the Institute’s Director is Dr. Al.A. Gromyko, Corresponding Member of RAS, D. Sc. (Politics). In 1988-2001 the Institute of Europe was part of International Relations Department of RAS; in 2002-2010 it was a part of Social Sciences Department (International Relations section). Since 2011, the Institute of Europe has formed a part of the Department of Global Problems and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Throughout its history, the Institute has been an active publisher. Since the first half of the 1990s it regularly releases the Reports of IE RAS (more than 300 issues up to now). In 2000 the quarterly ”Contemporary Europe” journal was founded and soon received recognition of the Russian and international scientific society. Since 2007, the unique series of collective monographs "Old World – New Times" has been published.
