Across five work packages coordinated by 19 team members, TransformEU will build and implement an interdisciplinary approach to research, teach, and talk about the practices, technologies, structures, and agencies to facilitate a sustainability transformation as it relates to people, profits, and planet, respectively.
Key goals:
- Developing and promoting top-level research expertise on the EU policies toward sustainability transformation, both sectorally and holistically. This will be achieved through an inter-disciplinary analytical framework, led by political science, and research network building with other relevant Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence and institutions.
- Improving students’ knowledge on the EU’s efforts to create a green, just, and competitive future. Teaching modules on the EU transitions as well innovative new university curricula in the field of European Studies will be developed and disseminated.
- Facilitating the dissemination of this research to practitioner and policymaker communities, with actionable knowledge and insights in dialogue with EU policy makers on current transformation topics.
- Promoting exchanges between policymakers, citizens, and civil society actors and empower them in particular contexts and sectors to become agents of transformation.
To make a lasting impact to a wide audience, TransformEU will deliver 1 book, 1 journal special issue, and various scientific articles. It will also organise 18 seminars, 12 public debates, 1 scientific conference, 2 cultural events, and yearly student events.
