About

The EUGLOB project

In today’s increasingly disruptive times and unpredictable world, it is crucial for EU leadership to identify and even anticipate global policy challenges and shape their regulation by the EU’s core values of liberal democracy, solidarity, equality, and sustainability. The EUGLOB project aims to be a central hub of knowledge on the EU’s unique role as an agenda-setter and policy-shaper of transnational problems regulation. The focus of our work is on new and crucial areas of policy formulation in which the EU is playing or is expected to play a decisive role both within and beyond its borders: (1) data protection, (2) artificial intelligence, (3) environmental sustainability, (4) one welfare, (5) global health and (3) gender equality. Our approach is comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and rooted in our firm belief in the outreach of the Jean Monnet epistemic community. Our goal is to develop teaching and research on the EU, while also transferring knowledge to students, political elites, media, and civil society about the EU’s central role as a provider of public policies with global impact. We combine the perspectives of political science, international relations, law, geography, and economics in all three dimensions (teaching, research, and knowledge transfer) of our activities.

This project builds upon the work developed by the Jean Monnet Chair in European Policies (EUPOL) between 2018 and 2025 at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and aims at its structural consolidation. It also builds upon the outstanding track and project leadership developed by the Institute of European Studies, the Government and Governance Consolidated Research Group, the Global Intel Research Group, and the Observatory of European Foreign Policy for the last 15 years. The project also aims to reinforce the extensive inter-universities collaboration and joint activities already developed by the EUPOL Jean Monnet Chair within the framework of the Jean Monnet Spanish Partnership (BACE’s Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, Universitat Pompeu Fabra;  MACIES Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, Universidad Carlos III Madrid and the Jean Monnet OpenEUdebate Network, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and) launched in 2022, to strengthen the Jean Monnet epistemic community in Spain.
