Seminar on the Governance of Migration
21 May 2019 (TBC)
Florence, Italy
Jointly organised with: EUI’s Migration Policy Centre
Migration is an extremely sensitive political topic, practically exclusively domestically governed. This seminar will examine the current issues that migration governance faces, and what avenues and modalities of cooperation are available, as geopolitical, economic and environmental pressures driving international migration continue to rise.
Seminar on the Governance of Climate Change
20-21 June 2019
Paris, France
Jointly organised with: European Climate Foundation; EUI Florence School of Regulation, Climate and Energy departments
While the threat that climate change poses to humanity has long been well understood, effective action is lacking. This seminar will examine the “regime complex” governing the mitigation of climate change and its effects, with a particular focus on the Paris Agreement and its shortcomings, and what avenues exist for reinforcing or reshaping it.
Seminar on the Governance of Internet Regulation
TBC September 2019

Digital governance evolved in an ad hoc, decentralized manner. This seminar will examine the fast emergence of global digital oligopolies, actions of certain state powers giving rise to democracy and security concerns, and the increasingly vocal involvement of civil society, which all make digital governance a pressing problem.
