Project summary

In recent years, the EU has faced unprecedented challenges to live up to its mission to create a peaceful future based on common values. Despite the incorporation of foundational values into instruments of global governance, societal actors have increasingly opposed both the methods by which the EU propagates its values and the values themselves. Understanding contestations is of utmost importance, not only for the resilience of the EU but also for its future role on the international scene. ValEUs main objectives are (1) to enquire into the various contestations of the EU values and provide a realistic account of EU Foreign Policy; (2) to learn more about potential and successful counterstrategies to contestations and develop an alternative policy agenda; (3) to promote a new role for universities as responsible actors, as laboratories for democracy and committed partners to endangered regions, such as Ukraine. ValEUs convenes 21 partner institutions from 18 countries and five continents. All institutions have a strong expertise in EU Studies across a wide range of academic disciplines and share the mission to build collective research capacity, develop innovative teaching collaboration and engage in impactful societal policy debate, resulting in policy recommendations for EU and non-EU stakeholders.
