TRends In Global Governance and Europe’s Role

Project description

Refining the role of EU institutions

With the right knowledge and tools, EU institutions can influence global governance and develop new ways to harness the potential of public engagement and participatory foresight. They can also become powerful enough to tackle emerging trends such as nationalism, regionalism and protectionism. In this context, the EU-funded TRIGGER project is mobilising a group of 14 partners (including 4 non-EU countries) to create an unprecedented Atlas of Global Governance Regulation and Europe’s Actorness (AGGREGATOR). They will also focus on the relationship between governance and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. At the end of the project, all deliverables will be merged into a toolkit dedicated to Public Engagement for Responsive and Shared EU Strategies (PERSEUS).

Objective

The ultimate objectives of TRIGGER are to provide EU institutions with knowledge and tools to enhance their actorness, effectiveness and influence in global governance; and to develop new ways to harness the potential of public engagement and participatory foresight in complex governance decisions, thereby also tackling emerging trends such as nationalism, regionalism and protectionism. These overall objectives are designed to be measurable, realistic and achievable within the 36-month duration of the project. The TRIGGER consortium is composed of 14 partners, including four non-EU countries. TRIGGER will achieve its objectives thanks to the combined effort of four research sub-groups: (i) a group focused on global and EU governance, which will create an unprecedented Atlas of Global Governance REGulation and Europe’s AcTORness (AGGREGATOR); (ii) a group focused on the relationship between governance and emerging technologies; (iii) a group dedicated to strategic foresight and public engagement, which will use new techniques such as AI-enabled sentiment analysis and innovative public engagement methods to develop a tool on Co-Creating the European Union (COCTEAU); and (iv) a group specialised in dissemination and communication. All major deliverables will eventually merged into a toolkit dedicated to Public Engagement for Responsive and Shared EU Strategies (PERSEUS), which will be released at the end of the project.
