Global Europe Centre (GEC)

Description

The Global Europe Centre (GEC) is the University of Kent’s research centre dealing with Europe and the challenges it faces in a rapidly changing world. It is a centre of interdisciplinary research focusing both on the EU and its member states and on Europe as a whole.

The GEC combines internationally significant research with a high level of engagement with international policy communities in Brussels, London and other European capitals. Through the dissemination of its research, consultancy and professional development programmes, it informs decision-making and makes a major contribution to knowledge transfer.

GEC's multi-national team conducts research across a wide range of interdisciplinary areas and provides policy advice to a variety of national governments, European and international organisations. GEC's current thematic research priorities include:

• The EU, its neighbours and Central Asia
• Foreign policy and security in Europe after Brexit
• Global challenges, rising powers and changing hegemonies
