The School of Economics, Management and Political Science of the University of Minho invites the entire academic community to attend the “Twinning with Maynooth University” program, which will take place on April 22, 23 and 24, 2025, in the EEG's Great Hall.
This event is part of the Twinning 2.0 initiative of the Arqus Alliance 2025 and its central theme is “Multi-level challenges for the EU and the contestation of the global international order”. Through sharing and debate sessions, the aim is to analyze the impacts of growing international instability on European politics, promoting critical reflection at various levels - regional, national and international.
The meeting will be attended by lecturers and students from Maynooth University (Ireland), as well as the University of Minho, as part of a mobility program that follows on from EEG's visit to the partner institution the previous year. The main objective is the exchange of knowledge, the comparative analysis of public policies and the promotion of collaborations between master's and doctoral students in the areas of Political Science, International Relations and Public Administration.

Marco Paschoalotto - Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science
Luís Mota - Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science

The initiative provides a platform for direct contact between researchers and students, contributing to academic and scientific development in an international environment.
