Based at the University of Herzliya, the successful Interdisciplinary Center established a Certificate Program in European Studies which links Israeli and European studies in politics, economy, history, and law. This program enables students and postgraduates from Israel, Jordan and Palestine to gain scientific insights into the European Union and its member states, with an emphasis on the dramatic history of Europe in the 20th century. This focus was stressed by Dr. Tessen von Heydebreck, at the time a Member of the Board of the Deutsche Bank, with the sentence: "It would be a great wish that, with the help of the sponsorship, some of the lessons learned in Europe during the terrible 20th century could be applied to people living in the region, and that in the spirit of coexistence, enmity may be replaced with peace.” The Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank sponsored the Center for European Studies in Herzliya between 2007 and 2014 with a total of 1 million euros.

Eligible established researchers and junior scientists are invited to attend the college, where they are given the opportunity to focus on a project of their choice for a year. Since 1982, the college has awarded a prize every three years to honor the lifetime achievement of a historian’s work in line with the historical college's main research objectives. In cooperation with Free State of Bavaria, the Kaulbach Villa near the University of Munich was set up as the institute's premises between 1987 and 1988. The college has been run as a “public private partnership” since 2000/2001. The Free State of Bavaria provides the Kaulbach-Villa rent-free, and provides for half of the annual budget expenses. The budget for scholarships and the award money associated with the lifetime achievement prize continues to be contributed by private foundations and other donors.
