Post-Brexit foreign policy: The challenges for researchers of EU-UK relations
WEBINAR
About the Webinar
Catarina M. Liberato, PhD Candidate at the University of Kent, received a Virtual Mobility Grant (VMG) to organise a webinar series on Post-Brexit Foreign Policy: UK-EU relations. In the European Union after Brexit, it is important to promote collaboration between researchers in both parts.
Discussing the foreign policy post-Brexit relations is essential to perceive the challenges and propose solutions. The main objective of the webinar series is to promote scientific discussion on post-Brexit relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union.
This initiative aims to promote a collaborative space of discussion where Early Career Researchers (ECR), namely PhD students, are welcome to present their views alongside senior researchers.
