On the 26th of March, The Institute for European Studies (IES) and the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) are jointly organising a one day training seminar on "The New EU Climate Policies. Between Copenhagen and Cancun". The seminar will present the international framework of climate change negotiations, with a special focus on the EU climate policies. Furthermore, topics such as ETS and carbon markets, as well as mitigation in developed and developing countries will be addressed. The seminar will end with a panel discussion on the outcomes of the Copenhagen summit and the EU's international role, bringing together representatives from NGOs, industry, European institutions and academia.

  The multidisciplinary GARNET Conference ‘The European Union in International Affairs’ will provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas among the growing number of scholars that take an interest in understanding the interface of EU and international politics and law. It will be open to all relevant disciplines and sub-disciplines, including (international) law, international political economy, economics and history. The Conference will also continue to foster exchange between the scientific and the policy communities, especially through keynote addresses by senior policy makers and a number of policy-link events featuring academics as well as policy makers.  The Conference broadly covers all aspects relevant to understanding the EU in international affairs, including implications for and effects of the structure of the global order , in order to allow for active participation by as many scholars as possible working on relevant subjects.

Registrations are now open.
