European Documentation Centre

The European Documentation Centre (EDC) is an information centre that supports the promotion of teaching and research related to European integration at University level. It offers resources on European issues to students, lecturers and researchers.

It was created in 1980 through an agreement between the University of Deusto and the European Communities. 

Since 1997, the EDC has been part of the Basque European Information Network, REVIE, whose main aim is to provide greater coordination and collaboration between depository centres of European information.

Since 2005 the Network of European Documentation Centres became part of a wider network: EUROPE DIRECT, which comprises a large number of European information services for citizens.
