Next Generation EU Research Series: New Insights into the Polity, Politics and Policies of the European Union
The lecture series Next Generation EU-Research Series: New Insights into the Polity, Politics and Policies of the European Union, took place in the winter semester 2023/24. Kugelmeier López incorporated the lecture series into her teaching and was responsible for the moderation of the lecture series.
The lecture series was held in an innovative format that assembled PhD and early postdoctoral students from across Europe to meet, at least, three key objectives: offer a platform for teaching and learning about the latest research in EU scholarship, offering upcoming scholars a room to showcase and publicise their cutting-edge research, and building networks among these scholars to sustainably advance the field. The series was offered in a digital format to allow access for an interested international audience, at the same time it was integrated into the European Studies programmes at the host University, the OVGU. The series is followed up by an author workshop with the contributors that takes place in Magdeburg. All activities are part of the Jean Monnet Chair activities and are co-funded by the European Commission.
