University of Macau
Conference Theme
The 2025 EUSAAP annual conference and postgraduate workshop hosted by the University of Macau and EUSA Macau will celebrate and revisit the state of EU Studies within our region. This past quarter century has seen a number of frameworks introduced spanning from the ASEM format initiated in 1996 to the 2021 EU Indo-Pacific Strategy, and interspersed with the designation of four Indo-Pacific countries as EU Strategic Partners (Japan, Korea, China, India). This conference invites papers that explore these innovations and changing priorities embracing interdisciplinary perspectives – International Relations, Political Science, Law, Economics and History.
Programme
The academic conference will be held over two days (Thursday and Friday) and participants are expected to attend both days. The postgraduate workshop will be held on one day parallel to the academic conference (parallel streams). The day will be confirmed closer in time. The postgraduate workshop will be conference-style presentations and facilitated by experienced academics providing supportive and constructive feedback.
A conference dinner will be offered on Thursday evening and must be booked together with your registration.
