PD-PCF UC is in the Core Team leading the 13-country project on external perceptions of the EU 鈥淐ontinuity and Change.

The Update Study 2021鈥� commissioned by Foreign Policy Instruments Division (FPI) of the European Commission in collaboration with European External Action Service (EEAS) Public Diplomacy division, a highly contested tender (total funding $1,184,000).

The project is a consortium led by B&S Europe of Belgium (management /backstopping team) and implemented by Research Institute PPMI of Lithuania and PD-PCF UC. Professor Natalia Chaban, PD-PCF Director, is a Team Leader. Dr Iana Sabatovych and Dr Pauline Heinrichs, PD-PCF UC Adjuncts, are Methods Leads.

This 9-months project is commissioned by the EU as a part of the consultation process to shape the next programming cycle of the EU Public Diplomacy globally. It studies framing of the EU in traditional and social media, among the general public, educated youth and national policy- and decision-makers.

The Final Report was submitted to the FPI and EEAS in November 2021. In October Prof Chaban co-led with PPMI the Project鈥檚 Core Team in three virtual presentations delivering results and policy recommendations to the EU external relations practitioners at Brussels EU HQ from European Commission, EEAS and different Directorate-Generals, as well as EU Delegations around the world.

On October 5, 2021, Professor Chaban of PD-PCF organized and led the COST Virtual Panel 鈥淓xternal perceptions of the EU as times of global crises: Continuity and Change?鈥� within the Research Week events of the COST Action ENTER.听 The panel unites PD-PCF members (Natalia Chaban, Ole Elgstr枚m, Michele Knodt, Sonia Lucarelli, Karine Lisbonne-de Vergeron, Iana Sabatovych, Pauline Heinrichs) with scholars of the 鈥淓U External Perceptions Update Study 2021鈥� outside of the Forum.

The panel is one of research outputs of the COST ENTER Work Package 2 鈥淧erceptions and Communication鈥� (PD-PCF鈥檚 Director Professor Chaban is its Vice-Leader).听听
