University of Cantabria hosted the summer school \u2018Global Studies in Uncertain Times: Identifying Challenges, Proposing Solutions\u2019, a collaboration between EUNICE European University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (USA)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb\u00bb text_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb]The EUNICE Summer School on Global Studies 2025 drawn thirty students from across Europe and the United States of America. For over a month, key issues such as globalisation and migration, their relationship with climate change and sustainable development, and the current dispute over global leadership have been discussed. Under the title \u201cGlobal Studies in Uncertain Times: Identifying Challenges, Proposing Solutions<\/strong>,\u201d the programme explored pressing global issues including migration, climate change, sustainable development, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. The course forms part of EUNICE\u2019s Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), combining online sessions in June with in-person classes held from 3 to 13 July at Santander (Spain).<\/p>\n

The course, coordinated by the University of Cantabria (UC, Spain), was attended by faculty from the UC, four other EUNICE partner universities \u2014 the University of Catania (Italy), Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus (Germany) and the University of Vaasa (Finland) \u2014 and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (USA).<\/p>\n

According to Luis Mu\u00f1oz, UC\u2019s Vice-Rector for International Relations and Strategy, the programme exemplifies EUNICE’s dual commitment to European and transatlantic academic cooperation.<\/p>\n

Course director Judith Clifton, professor in UC\u2019s Department of Economics, highlighted the importance of equipping students with foundational knowledge in global studies. \u201cIn a world marked by uncertainty, students need frameworks to understand international relations and global dynamics,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The summer school also fostered critical thinking and intercultural collaboration. Students worked in teams to analyse unresolved global issues and present innovative solutions<\/strong>, culminating in a series of final presentations.<\/p>\n

Global Competence Certificate<\/h4>\n

This is one of the many courses that allow UC students to earn the EUNICE Global Competence Certificate, which also registers an Erasmus+ mobility experience and language proficiency benchmarks. Gabriel Moncali\u00e1n, UC Vice-Rector for University Transformation, emphasised \u00abthe value of this certification in enhancing students\u2019 international profiles<\/strong>.\u00bb \u00abWith initiatives like this, the Spanish region of Cantabria strengthens its position as a hub for academic excellence and global engagementr\u00bb, he remarked.<\/p>\n

EUNICE continues to offer additional opportunities for global learning, including an introductory MOOC on global studies scheduled for this autumn. Completion of these programmes contributes to the European Degree Supplement, reinforcing UC\u2019s and EUNICE\u2019s commitment to interdisciplinary and international education.<\/p>\n
