The third edition of “The European Union from a Glocal Perspective” explores the Future: multilevel governance, European strategic autonomy, and relations with Ibero-America

The 3rd edition of “The European Union from a Glocal Perspective” takes place between August and September 2026, concluding with the broadcast of a three-hour program on IGADI TV titled “The Future.” It will be streamed live on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The project is carried out thanks to the 2026 Call for Communication Actions and Outreach Activities from the Secretariat of State for the European Union (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation). Full information about the project is available on the website ueglocal.hub.gal.

After exploring the foundational meaning of the EU as a glocal international actor (1st edition 2024) and the legacy of four decades of Spain’s presence in constructing the Glocal EU (2nd edition 2025), the third edition will be the moment to take stock and look ahead: What role does the European Union play in a transforming world? How can our cities and regions participate in Brussels’ new directions? What is the nature of the Glocal EU when we look to the future strategically?

To address these questions, IGADI is carrying out the project’s 3rd edition throughout August and September 2026, featuring researchers associated with previous editions alongside prominent new contributors. Coordinated by Serafín Pazos, Patricia Coloret, and Daniel González Palau, the third monograph on the Glocal EU—as well as the September 29 program on IGADI TV—will pay special attention to EU-Latin America relations within the framework of the 30th Ibero-American Summit, to be held in Madrid on November 4 and 5.

To join the TV program and ask questions live to our experts, prior registration on the UNED platform is required, which entitles participants to a certificate of attendance.
