From 17 to 21 June 2024 the Robert Schuman Centre is culminating the celebration of its 30th anniversary through joint sessions of workshops on six themes that are central to its research agenda.
Using the model pioneered by the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), these joint sessions bring together scholars from different institutions, schools of thought, methodological preferences, career stages, and locations for five days of intense collaboration. The goal is to collectively address significant issues, with an eye on publishing the findings collaboratively.
On the first day we will welcome participants with an opening by EUI President Patrizia Nanz, while Erik Jones, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre, will introduce the six workshops. A ceremony will follow for the GLOBALCIT – Rainer Bauböck 2024 Essay Award on 'The Global State of Citizenship' with Maarten Vink and Rainer Bauböck announcing the winner of the award. Finally, Adrienne Héritier will give a keynote speech, which will be followed by a reception.
The workshops will take place over the following days (more details in the dedicated sections listed below). On 21 June convenors will gather to present the main outcomes of the workshops. The closing keynote speech will be given by Luiza Bialasiewicz from the University of Amsterdam.
The event will take place at the Badia Fiesolana, the historic centre of the European University Institute in Fiesole. It starts on Monday, 17 June 2024, in the early afternoon, and ends at lunchtime on Friday, 21 June 2024. Both Monday afternoon and Friday morning will be devoted to common programme activities including keynote addresses as well as opening and closing panels. The six workshops will run in parallel from Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon.
Note that the EUI June Ball will take place on Friday 14 June 2024.
