About
History
The Centre international de formation européenne (CIFE) was created in 1954. Its founders, in particular Alexandre Marc, understood the urgent necessity to train professionals and citizens in the subject of a united Europe. Over the course of the years, CIFE has become an organisation without rival.
Education
We offer postgraduate university courses; summer university programmes; general education by means of seminars and international apprenticeships; the furthering of knowledge and debate in conferences; the transmission of information and communication by means of our review L’Europe en formation and our various other publications. This abundant activity has been nurtured over the course of the successive EU enlargements and has often anticipated these.
Research
CIFE is an institute of high level academic teaching, on European and international relations, in politics, economy, social and cultural affairs, governance and federalism – all topical subjects for reflection and research, and CIFE is reinforcing its longstanding character as a think-tank in these fields.
A CIFE research department has been put in place in 2014, and since then develops its activities around five pivotal fields:
- Policy papers;
- Annual Symposiums;
- Research and publication projects;
- Continuing publishing and reinforcing the academic quality of CIFE's quarterly, "L'Europe en formation";
- Enlarging the academic and scientific network of CIFE.
Career
The graduates of CIFE 's Master' s programs work as Senior officials in European institutions, policy officers within the UN framework, administrators, diplomats, consultants, researchers for think tanks, lobbyists, and academic experts.

Accreditation
CIFE’s Alumni succeed in the professional world. The French state has recognised CIFE’s graduate programmes as a qualification of the Master level (level 7 EQF). This recognition demonstrates not only that the graduates of CIFE’s Master’s programmes are employable, but also that they are in employment. The accrediting body (CNCP) verifies that at least three quarters of CIFE’s graduates work in the professional field covered by the qualification.
