Welcome to #EUIA27!

The 10th edition of the European Union in International Affairs (EUIA) Conference will take place from 12 to 14 May 2027 in Brussels.

EUIA is a major forum for academics and policymakers to debate the role of the European Union in addressing global challenges. The 10th edition (#EUIA27) will bring together over 300 participants from around the world to explore the theme Europe in a disrupted global order.

#EUIA27 seeks to advance scholarly debate on the EU's international role and the external dimensions of its policies. In addition to academic panel discussions, the conference will foster exchanges between scholars and practitioners through keynote lectures and roundtable sessions. The programme will further feature networking opportunities, awards, and interactive sessions with editors of leading academic journals.

#EUIA27 is organised by the Brussels School of Governance at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in partnership with the Institut d’études européennes at the Université libre de Bruxelles, the Department of Politics and International Studies of the University of Warwick, the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna, the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies, and QUEST (Horizon Europe Project on the EU’s Quest for an Open Strategic Autonomy).
