About the project

The goal of ANTERO is to strengthen the interaction between research in the field of EU foreign policy and the translation of that research through innovative, research-led teaching. This will include the production of specific open access research material and teaching outputs which can be easily accessed and integrated to the teaching of undergraduate and graduate students worldwide and which will contribute to the professional development of early-career academics and a strengthening of EU studies in this field.
