The Davis Center is Harvard's gateway to the interdisciplinary study of Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. Understanding these complex territories and cultures—on their own terms and in historical, regional, and global context—requires sustained expertise across languages, disciplines, and borders. We cultivate this expertise by promoting innovative and accessible scholarship, supporting the research and training of Harvard undergraduate and graduate students, and building scholarly community at Harvard and beyond. We foster debate and equip analysts and practitioners to bring rigorous knowledge to bear on contemporary challenges.
