Recognition status
Con sede en Santiago de Compostela, el INSTITUTO EUROPEO CAMPUS STELLAE, tiene entre sus objetivos la promoción de actividades de enseñanza, culturales, artísticas y sociales.
Es pionero en la formación de expertos en Unión Europea, Violencia Doméstica, Derechos Humanos y Protocolo Internacional.
El Instituto Europeo Campus Stellae inicia su proyecto de formación de postgrado en el año 1993, bajo el nombre Centro Europeo Atlántico. En esta linea de actuación, se crea el Primer Postgrado Curso de Especialización en la Unión Europea. Dicho postgrado se presentó en colaboración con la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, dentro del Convenio firmado entre el Excmo. Magnifico Sr. Rector D. Darío Villanueva y la directora Doña Nuria Pereira Martínez. Convenio que estuvo vigente durante mas de una década.
En esos años y bajo la dirección académica conjunta, se han desarrollado diversos trabajos de investigación, que en 1996, son reconocidos por la representación del Parlamento Europeo en España, y ambas instituciones deciden crear el Premio Europeo “Campus Stellae”. A lo largo de todas las ediciones se han premiado anualmente a los tres mejores trabajos de investigación de ámbito europeo.
El IECS ha ido evolucionando de una formación íntegramente presencial, semipresencial a una formación a distancia, albergando alumnos de distintos países.
Desde octubre de 2003, y atendiendo a las necesidades del alumnado del s.XXI, el Instituto Europeo ha centrado su actividad en la formación a distancia y on-line, creando una plataforma digital a través de la cual los alumnos obtienen una formación acorde con sus exigencias.
Para facilitar la incorporación de nuestro alumnado al mercado laboral y como complemento de la bolsa de trabajo y de los diversos convenios de prácticas en empresas, el Instituto Europeo Campus Stellae crea en el año 2012 diferentes Asociaciones Colegiales de Profesionales Expertos relacionadas con nuestras Áreas de Formación de Postgrado, abiertas tanto al antiguo alumnado como a profesionales que acrediten experiencia en el campo de especialización sin restricciones ni de país ni de nacionalidad. Todas las asociaciones darán salida laboral a los profesionales de estas nuevas áreas y avalarán su actividad profesional en cualquier país del mundo.
Los integrantes de estas Asociaciones constituirán el nuevo listado de expertos al que las Empresas e Instituciones que nos solicitan candidatos acudirán para cubrir los puestos de trabajo relacionados con cada Área Profesional:
El Instituto Europeo Campus Stellae ha firmado numerosos convenios con otras entidades y organizaciones tanto a nivel estatal como internacional. Muchos de estos convenios son acuerdos que tienen el fin de facilitar la realización de prácticas de nuestros estudiantes por todo el mundo. En otras ocasiones estos acuerdos tienen otros objetivos diferentes como la colaboración, la investigación, el intercambio, el establecimiento de programas conjuntos, etc. Os invitamos a conocer algunos de los acuerdos alcanzados por el IECS.
Actualmente el Instituto Europeo Campus Stellae tiene alumnos en más de 80 países.
