As part of the activities organized to celebrate the Europe Day (May 9th), the Center for International Relations at FGV will host the 2nd Graduate Workshop on European Union Research: European Studies in Brazil - New Agendas of an Evolving Field.

This event will be held on May 10th, at FGV, Rio de Janeiro. During the workshop selected Master’s and PhD students, working on subjects related to the European Union, will have the opportunity to present and discuss their ongoing work with internationally renowned scholars in the field. The workshop will follow the EU Commission funded “PhD School” model, in which students are required to submit a chapter or article in advance and briefly present it during the workshop proceedings. Experts then present their comments, feedback and advice for the future academic development of the participants. The workshop will offer participants the unique opportunity to exchange views and discuss doubts regarding their work with specialists from major universities of the EU and US.

• Short biographies of scholars
