USA & EU Barcelona Meeting
The Institute of North American Studies Foundation in Barcelona wishes to support the study of different aspects of American culture, history, society, economics and politics in order to promote the city of Barcelona as a place for reflection, debate and as a key meeting point for American studies.
With this objective in mind, since September 2020 Dr. Jeffrey Michaels joined the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) as an IEN Senior Fellow to organize a study program on U.S. foreign policy and international security which is modeled on the pattern of the best American studies programs in Europe.
As part of its new initiative to expand educational activities in the field of American studies, the IEN is launching the USA & EU Barcelona Meeting as an annual program of conferences that will provide expert vision, reflection and greater details on transatlantic relations in terms of politics, the environment, technology, research and investigation, culture, history and society.
