With the topic “European cultural and science diplomacy: exploiting the potential of culture and science in the EU’s external relations”, the grant’s goal is to analyze and compare EU and EU member states’ cultural relations with major third countries, regions and international organizations. The proposals should look into the evolutionary nature of cultural ties between Europe and specific countries and world regions, also from a historical perspective. The research is expected to provide a critical overview of the existing EU and Member State external cultural and science policies and explore incentives for joint action for achieving coordination.

The objective is to allow the EU to contribute to the global governance of culture and science.

Beneficiary countries: The member states of the European Union, and Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia, among others.
