In the latest article, Benno Gammerl, Riccardo Bulgarelli, and Zsófia Veszely from the EUI's Department of History, examine the conservative discourse surrounding the Berlin Pride attack.

🗣️ ''Conservative parties claim to defend the liberties, also of q***r people, while historically they have depicted q***r communities as a threat to the family and Christian morality. Now they publicly lament LGBTIQIA+ people as civilian (not q***r) victims to promote tighter surveillance of Islamist groups and more restrictive migration policies.''

🏳️‍🌈 Through an exploration of the long history of ''homonationalism'' in Europe, they argue that Islamism is only one part of the broader picture when it comes to violence against LGBTIQ+ communities. Rather than embracing “homonationalist friends” who use LGBTIQ+ rights to advance discriminatory agendas, they encourage LGBTIQ+ activists to build broader alliances with q***r, feminist, anti-racist and other inclusive movements to tackle anti-q***r violence.

"Two people can be given the same facts about immigration and still believe different narratives."

In this video, James Dennison (Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies) discusses the new book he co-authored with Andrew Geddes, out now with Oxford University Press.

He unpacks why immigration narratives are so hard to pin down: most are technically true, but highly selective in what they include, which is why the same facts can lead one person to link immigration to crime and another to economic growth. Drawing on decades of pan-European data, the book also sets out a five-step guide to communicating about migration more effectively.

The unprecedented border crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta prompted strong political reactions across Europe. Most European governments called for a response from EU officials and called for the elimination of all policies that could be considered “pull factors” of illegal migration to Europe.

🗺️ In the latest article, Karla Žeravčić and Marco Mauer, researchers at the EUI's Department of Law, examine whether calls for stronger border controls by 22 member states align with EU law.

🗣️ "What is presented politically as a permissive migration policy is, in legal terms, largely the implementation of obligations that already bind all EU member states. The decision does not grant anyone the right to remain in Spain or to move onwards to other member states. Rather, it simply requires Spain to apply the formal procedures in these instances."

“Every corner I look around, there’s a memory of my time here.”

For Diego Garzia, his time at the EUI was shaped by research, community and the many connections he made along the way.

His advice to those at the EUI today? Make the most of your time up on those hills, and don’t miss Coppa Pavone!

"We take the temperature, as we say, of media pluralism."

Elda Brogi, Deputy Director of the EUI's Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom CMPF, explains what it took to build the Media Pluralism Monitor: streamlining a concept until it was measurable in every EU member state, coordinating a team of researchers across Europe, and doing it at national level, year after year, for more than a decade. That evidence base has since fed directly into the European Media Freedom Act.

Every generation has its own ideas about what the future should look like.

As the EUI marked its 50th anniversary, we looked back at the Europe we imagined and ahead to the Europe still to come.
This time, we wanted to hear from a younger generation, giving high school students in Florence a space to share their perspectives.

Understanding where we are going also means listening to those who will help shape Europe’s future.

Now we’re passing the mic to you.

"If the people in Gaza were declaring international law dead, I would understand. But the opposite is true."

On , EUI Law Professors Sarah Nouwen and Arnulf Becker Lorca take on a question they're each asked constantly: are they teaching a subject that no longer exists?

Their answer starts by asking who is actually doing the declaring. It's rarely the people most failed by international law, in Gaza, Afghanistan, Sudan, the small island states facing climate change, who still bring cases and rally around its institutions. It's more often the violators, including its own allies, who are quickest to call it dead.

🔎 What makes a digital product European?

On , Thomas Streinz (EUI Department of Law, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies) and Anna Renata Pisarkiewicz (Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies) dig into a question that turns out to be harder than it sounds: is a company European because it's established in the EU? Because its data sits on a server here? Because of how it's treated under public procurement law? They trace the tension between regulating digital technology and actually building the infrastructure it depends on.

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is still shaping European and global security debates. On , Olena Snigyr (Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies), Alain Lempereur, and Bohdan Bernatskyi (Florence School of Transnational Governance) looked at who these negotiations are really for: Ukraine, or a Moscow-Washington conversation about power that leaves Europe negotiating for a seat at its own table?
