Our facilities
The IU Europe Gateway is housed within the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) Berlin Center. The 1,050-square-foot space includes an administrative office and two mixed-use meeting/seminar rooms which can also be used as an office space by visiting scholars. A range of seminar, lecture, and studio-style spaces with capacities of up to 40 seats, and a 100-seat capacity auditorium are also available within CIEE Berlin. IU faculty and staff may use these spaces on an as-available basis and by prior arrangement with CIEE.
The gateway also supports in-country needs, such as connections, guidance, and the use of meeting spaces, offices, and technology.
