Over the past decades, European Us have undergone a continuing institutional transformation, central to which is increasing external pressure for accountability. The Standing Conference of Rectors, Presidents, & Vice-Chancellors of the European Us, which represents 360 Us & equivalent institutions from 23 European countries, has undertaken a research project inspired by this process: the History of the European U in Society project. The project faced several methodological problems that required a long planning process, involving (1) a feasibility study; (2) finding allies; (3) testing a procedure; & (4) preparation of a manuscript, now under way. Resources for the project include collaborators & funding. The current state of the project is assessed. W. H. Stoddard
