The project

The EU as a Global Actor

Jean Monnet Chair 

 

Funded by the European Union, the project "The EU as a Global Actor" aims to enhance students' awareness on the EU's global actorness and strengthen their professional competences for the creation of a public European sphere. 

The project's main activities are: 

  1. Teaching activities on the EU's global role from different disciplinary perspectives;
  2. Webinars with EU foreign policy practitioners and with professionals of information on the EU;
  3. Annual conferences on the EU as a global actor.

Through these activities, the project will bring EU foreign policy-makers and professionals of information on the EU closer to students as well as contribute to policy and academic debate on the EU as a global actor.

Finally, the project supports academic research by the team of the Chair on the EU as a Global Actor, which will generate knowledge on the topic in the form of policy analyses/recommendations and academic works.
