The Centre of International and European Economic Law (CIEEL) was established in 1978 in Thessaloniki, Greece, by Law 717/1977. Envisaged and founded by the ever memorable Professor Dimitrios Evrigenis, member of the European Parliament and Judge at the European Court of Human Rights, CIEEL operates as a national documentation and research unit for the promotion of academic research. It is registered and operates as a private legal entity, under the supervision of the Minister of Economy and Finance and enjoys complete operational and financial autonomy.
Following a decision of the European Commission, CIEEL has officially been designated as a "European Documentation Centre".
In 1997, the Administrative Board established CIEEL's "Academic Council", an advisory body supporting CIEEL's research activities.
