The Jean Monnet Chair in Global Actor EU: The International Relations of the European Union in a Competitive and Fractured World (GLOBALEUTY) is a project which combines dynamic and didactic teaching with state-of-the-art research and interactive dissemination on the topic of the EU’s as a global actor, cast against the backdrop of an increasingly challenging international context. The project is firmly anchored within the framework of European Union studies with its focus on what the EU ‘is’ and ‘does’ on the international stage, and how such global actorness is made more complex by a number of current challenges related to a competitive and fragmented world context. The GLOBALEUTY project will pursue a set of general objectives, divided into three dimensions. First, in terms of teaching, GLOBALEUTY will deliver state-of-the-art, specialized courses on the EU as a global actor to graduate students to provide them with in-depth knowledge and skills which will situate them in an advantageous position on the job market. Second, in terms of dissemination, GLOBALEUTY will foster public awareness and dialogue on what the EU is and does on the international scene by ways of different knowledge-transfer activities to specialized as well as non-specialized interlocutors. Third, in terms of research, the Jean Monnet Chair will pursue various research lines on the EU as a global actor and provide training for graduate and post-graduate students on different research topics related to the EU’s foreign, security and defense policy.
