The project aims furthermore to develop the teaching module 'Regulating Crisis in the EU' (elective course from the specialisation phase of Study Year 3 in the BA ES). This module focuses on the EU crisis management capacities and the EU risk regulating mechanisms in various policy domains (e.g. public health, environment, industrial production, migration, global security, etc.). Risks, uncertainty and policy vulnerabilities of external and internal nature are ubiquitous in the EU context, and individual member states are limited in their capacity to respond adequately. This is why it is important for the current European studies students to understand the European institutional context of risk governance as they will be the future professionals working on transboundary problems which must/could be managed at the EU level.

Moreover, the project will spread knowledge about EU crisis management beyond academia, and will engage local and regional policymakers, politicians and civil society organisations via the discussion platforms offered by the Studio Europa Institute of Maastricht.
