Building on an already established framework for summer schools at Comillas University, the project brings together practitioners from EU institutions, scholars from Comillas, the University of Marburg, and the University of Mostar as well as students from the participating institutions for an integrated course on European security policy in Madrid in 2024. The project intends to contribute to a sharing of mutual perspectives on teaching and to ensure that the potential for future in-depth cooperation will be explored and possibly institutionalized. In addition, the participating scholars will investigate the potential for research cooperation, a widening of the network on EU studies within the EUPeace community and the addition of more partners from the EUPeace network.
This project is made possible through seed funding from the EUPeace Fund, an initial incentive launched to cultivate and develop interest across EUPeace communities in our network; by providing a first format for collaboration, the Fund equips participating researchers, educators, students and administrators with a practical tool for experimentation and active participation, employing a bottom-up approach that generates concrete information on the interests and needs of our communities and informs future collaborative initiatives.
