About the sessions
These peer-to-peer learning sessions form part of Auditorium Europe, an initiative of the academic committee driving Una Europa's Europe and the World Focus Area.
Auditorium Europe bundles a range of activities, including peer-to-peer learning, scholar-practitioner dialogue and mobility grants for early-career researchers. Some of these activities are implemented as part of the project 'Lost in transformation? Understanding Europe's place in a transforming world', supported by the Una Europa Research Acceleration Fund (funded by the Flemish Government).
The goal of this project and the suggested activities is to jointly reflect on the transformation dynamics that shape the EU's and wider Europe's place in the world, exploring questions like:
- Does the the EU act as a one actor and is perceived as such across the globe?
- Does the EU/Europe influence world politics or specific regions, acting as a normative or market power? Does this influence vary across issue areas?
- How has the EU itself reacted to global transformation dynamics, including shifts towards the influence of other international actors in world politics?
- What are the limits to EU influence across the globe, taking the decolonial and decentring perspectives seriously?
- To what extent do academics do justice to the complexity of each of these questions, both in academic research and teaching approaches?
This initiative was created as part of Una Europa’s Focus Area in Europe and the World and is part of the educational and research joint programmes of the Una.Futura project.
