Training the next
generation of experts

The EUFOG Doctoral Network is a new Horizon Europe-Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN), providing 18 dynamic, forward-looking, and motivated doctoral fellows with the best possible research training and education to enable them to become the next generation of experts ready to take on a leading position to strengthen the role of the EU in the world and to promote a better understanding of the ways in which the EU is reconsidering key tenets of its international role in the face of this geopolitical turn in international politics.

The EUFOG doctoral network will train a generation of scholars to enable them to address the politics, policies and partners associated with the ways in which EU foreign policy responds to new international realities in a broad range of issue areas, from security to trade to human rights.
