Professor CEBECI joins the ENP Chair in the framework of the Horizon 2020 project MEDRESET

The Natolin campus of the College of Europe welcomes Professor Münevver CEBECI, Associate Professor of International Relations at the European Union Institute at Marmara University in Istanbul. Professor CEBECI, a renowned scholar in the field of European Foreign Policy and Security Studies, joins the European Neighbourhood Policy Chair where she will work in the framework of the Horizon 2020 project MEDRESET.  

MEDRESET is a research project, financed by the European Commission in the framework of the Horizon 2020 programme. It brings together 12 universities, institutes and research centers from 11 countries within the EU and the EU’s southern neighbourhood. The project, which runs over a period of three years, aims to reset the understanding of the Mediterranean and develop alternative visions for a new partnership and corresponding EU policies, reinventing a future role for the EU as an inclusive, flexible, and responsive 'actor' in the region.

This will be achieved through an integrated research design which is in three phases: it 1) de-constructs the EU construction of the Mediterranean, 2) counters it by mapping the region on the geopolitical level and in four key policy areas (political ideas, agriculture and water, industry and energy, migration and mobility) alongside a three-dimensional framework (stakeholders, policy instruments, policy issues), which directly feeds into 3) a reconstruction of a new role for the EU, enhancing its ability to exert reflexive leadership and thus its relevance in the region.
