History
Founded in 2017 as part of the European University Institute, the Florence School of Transnational Governance brings the worlds of academia and policymaking together in an effort to navigate a context, both inside and outside Europe, where policymaking increasingly transcends national borders.
Education
In the cradle of the Renaissance, at the Florence School of Transnational Governance we teach, train and learn by providing a platform where transnational policy actors across politics, business, civil society, media and academia meet. We are here for anyone with an open and independent mind, for thinkers and for doers. We bring together some of the best teachers, trainers and policymakers from around the world.
Career
The STG's focus on developing key professional skills through specific training sessions and internships, prepares students for a number of careers working across borders, cultures and national interests.
Our graduates are trained to take on a variety of leadership positions in the global sector, such as multinational firms (i.e.: public communication and corporate responsibility units), NGOs, and national administrations and organisations. Some examples include business associations, the lower-level government and administration and trade unions and lobbying groups increasingly affected by international issues.
Student services
The EUI, of which the STG is part, has a number of services to support members of its community.
The EUI4U is the inter-service, comprehensive Single Point of Contact service of the EUI, offering assistance on all types of issues related to members' experience at the EUI and in the city of Florence. The EUI also offers Wellbeing and Counselling Service, which is free for members of its community.
Housing services
The EUI4U Housing Office is in charge of allocating EUI residential apartments. Furthermore, the Florence Housing Service assists members of the EUI Community in finding long and short term accommodation on the private market in and around Florence.

In addition, the EUI Library provides access to an extensive collection of databases, newspapers and eJournals and has a dedicated team of Library Information Specialists to assist researchers and students.
