The project will examine how the Union contributes to multilateralism through its external action in general and also through specific instruments such as the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements (especially “new generation” trade agreements), promoting its values referred to in Article 2 TEU.

The Chair will consist of a range of in-depth teaching activities addressed not only to students at different levels (undergraduates, Master students, PhD students) and researchers, but also to practitioners and the civil society at large, with a specific focus on legal practitioners. Various activities and events (Conferences, Seminars, Round Tables, Winter School, Moot Court competitions) aimed at spreading the project’s main research findings will take place. The said activities will be delivered in blended modality (face to face and remotely) in order to reach the widest possible public and to allow people that are unable to take part in person to be included. At least 1.150 representatives of the civil society, students, practitioners and researchers will benefit from the Chair activities.
