On November 6 and 7, 2025, the Instituto de Rela\u00e7\u00f5es Internacionais at PUC-Rio, in partnership with the EU-funded ENSURED research project, will host a high-level seminar in Rio de Janeiro. This will be the first ENSURED event to take place outside Europe and in the Global South.<\/p>\n
Held at a time of significant global realignment, the event will explore how multilateral institutions are responding to a shifting world order. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election and amid the evolution of a multipolar system, both the European Union and Brazil, with their long-standing commitments to multilateralism, face new questions about legitimacy, effectiveness, and global cooperation.<\/p>\n
Over two days, scholars from the ENSURED consortium will join researchers from Brazil and across the Global South in a series of panels focused on five core themes: climate, trade, migration, health, and digitalisation. Discussions will be based on extensive ENSURED research findings and policy recommendations, with responses and perspectives from regional voices.<\/p>\n
