European Humanities University (Belarusian: Еўрапейскі гуманітарны ўніверсітэт, romanized: Eurapeyski humanitarny universitet (ЕГУ/EHU), Lithuanian: Europos humanitarinis universitetas (EHU), Russian: Европейский гуманитарный университет, romanized: Evropeyskiy gumanitarnyy universitet (ЕГУ/EGU)) is a private, non-profit liberal arts university founded in Minsk, Belarus, in 1992.

Following its forced closure by the Belarusian authorities in 2004, EHU relocated to Vilnius (Lithuania) and thus continues its operations as a private university.

EHU offers high-residence and low-residence undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degree programs in the field of humanities and social sciences.

However, thanks to political, administrative, and financial support from the European Union, the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Governments of Lithuania, other European countries, and the United States, NGOs and foundations like MacArthur Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, and others, EHU resumed its operation in Vilnius, Lithuania and opened bachelor's and master's degree programs for Belarusian students in autumn 2005.

[2] In academic year 2020/21 EHU serves around 680[3] mostly Belarusian students, offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs and promoting research in the humanities and social sciences.

The actions of the authorities provoked a mass protest next day; about two hundred students and faculty defended their right to study and work in EHU.

[11] In summer 2016 Prof. G. David Pollick resigned from the university's Rector position following an audit by Deloitte that revealed him to be the beneficiary of a potentially fraudulent reimbursement scheme.

[14] In academic year 2016/17 EHU started implementation of the brand new liberal arts-inspired Core Curriculum, which was designed with an assistance of the Bard College network.

[17] During the AY 2020/21 Opening Ceremony, former president candidate and leader of the Belarusian opposition Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya made a keynote address to EHU students.

EHU provides tuition fee waivers for Belarusian students on the basis of academic merits and thanks to the support of the university donors.

The General Assembly of Part-Owners is the highest governing body of the university that brings together organizations that reestablished EHU in Lithuania after its closure in Minsk.

[22] The composition of the Governing Board: Prof. Anatoli Mikhailov is a scholar in the field of German philosophy, who founded EHU in Minsk in 1992 and served as Rector until September 30, 2014.

EHU's Doctor Honoris Causa degree is conferred upon scholars, statesmen, public, religious, and political figures of the Republic of Belarus and other countries to honor their accomplishments in humanities and social sciences, university education and culture; their contributions to the development of democracy and the realization of the principles of the rule of law; and their contribution to the development of culture and promotion of intercultural dialog.
