The conference, titled “Europe as a Global Actor – Exploring Future Perspectives in Teaching and Research”, will be organised in a hybrid format from 9th to 13th October 2023. The Joint Master´s Programme provides a multidisciplinary understanding of Europe’s role in the world and brings together the expertise and academic excellence of the Universities of Granada, Graz, Leipzig and Vilnius. Students and academics worldwide are invited to participate in this conference.

The global challenges which European societies are confronted with, have multiplied and become more complex over the last years. Profound questions are emerging: How shall actors in Europe respond to multiple and interconnected crises, including climate change, the rise of populism, global health, economic ruptures, and war?

In this context, the new Arqus Joint Master’s Programme in European Studies will provide students with critical perspectives, specialized knowledge and advanced expertise to analyze, comprehend and mediate insights about the shifting position of European actors and societies in a globally connected world, and about the interplay between processes of globalization, European integration and fragmentation. Joining forces within the Alliance, the Universities of Granada, Graz, Leipzig and Vilnius designed a programme that combines social, cultural, political, economic, legal, and historical approaches to the study of contemporary Europe.

From 9th to 13th October, a multi-sited hybrid conference will not only celebrate the launch of this Programme, but will offer discussions on the type of challenges that emerge for research and teaching in European Studies in a global age of crisis, on how these are addressed by the Arqus partners, and which competences students and employers look for when anticipating their role in new global dynamics.

The conference will count on a keynote on Monday, 9th October, at 6 pm CEST, given by Madina Tlostanova (Linköping University). Roundtables and student activities are also scheduled. These will be organized locally at the partner universities and streamed online. Interested audiences worldwide are welcome.
