Professor Ulrich Tiedau serves as Professor of European History at University College London's School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS), where he maintains an active research and teaching profile. His office is located in Foster Court 350 at UCL's central London campus.
Tiedau's research spans multiple interconnected domains including European history with particular focus on the Low Countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), German-British relations, and the history of European federation movements and pacifism in the early 20th century. His work frequently examines the intersection of intellectual history, cultural studies, and political movements, with growing emphasis on digital humanities methodologies.
His recent publications demonstrate consistent scholarly output across journals, edited volumes, and reference works, with particular emphasis on figures like Albert I of Monaco, Max Waechter, and Pieter Geyl who contributed to early European unity movements. Tiedau's work often explores how academic institutions, particularly the University of London, have served as sites for intellectual exchange and political advocacy during periods of European conflict.
