STRATEGO

STRATEGO's Research Agenda

Call now open!

STRATEGO Visiting Researchers Programme 2027

In terms of research, STRATEGO-II aims to develop a joint research agenda on trust, regulatory governance and the simplification of EU regulation with the purpose of generating knowledge and insights in support of EU policymaking. The objective is to generate joint research projects, share findings and produce joint academic publications.

STRATEGO-II will concentrate on facilitating cooperation among its core disciplines (social sciences, law, and business and economics) on the themes of EU regulation, regulatory simplification and trust, while also connecting to the life sciences and engineering faculties. We will organise research labs and seminars that bring together senior and junior researchers (also from outside the involved research groups) around cross-cutting questions of trust and regulatory governance that transcend disciplinary boundaries. These activities will engage scholars from fields in which trust between actors in the EU is highly relevant but not typically addressed as a central analytical concern. That way, STRATEGO-II will create structured opportunities for dialogue, mutual learning and the development of joint research initiatives. 

STRATEGO’s achievement indicators for its research agenda will focus on the facilitation of interdisciplinary collaboration and research exchanges among STRATEGO’s faculty members and with external (international) researchers. Achievement indicators include several research labs (e.g. workshops and seminars) and visiting scholars. ​
