    The asso­ci­at­ed part­ners cov­er five con­ti­nents and all the top­ics relat­ed to the three Majors. They increase the aca­d­e­m­ic net­works but also the poten­tial employ­er net­works in sev­er­al sec­tors. They offer a wide set of aca­d­e­m­ic and pro­fes­sion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties to the students :

    • the aca­d­e­m­ic asso­ci­at­ed part­ners are insti­tu­tions where stu­dents can spend the Semes­ter 4 (Mas­ter’s the­sis peri­od). They pro­vide key knowl­edge, skills and com­pe­tences and par­tic­i­pate in joint super­vi­sion of the Master’s the­sis. They also offer cours­es to vis­it­ing stu­dents and may con­tribute to the cours­es at the dif­fer­ent EPOG+ part­ner insti­tu­tions. The asso­ciate part­ners do not award degrees with­in the EPOG+ pro­gramme;
    • the non-aca­d­e­m­ic asso­ci­at­ed part­ners may par­tic­i­pate in EPOG+ activ­i­ties (e.g. teach­ing, sem­i­nars and super­vi­sion of stu­dents), pro­vide intern­ship oppor­tu­ni­ties, and con­tribute to net­work­ing activ­i­ties or EPOG+ funding.

    The aca­d­e­m­ic insti­tu­tions locat­ed in Paris form the Paris hub. They offer more oppor­tu­ni­ties for stu­dents to ben­e­fit from more tai­lored cours­es and expert super­vi­sors in the var­i­ous spe­cial­i­sa­tions. The asso­ci­at­ed part­nets from the Paris hub are:

    The Eco­nom­ic Com­mis­sion for Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is one of the five region­al com­mis­sions of the Unit­ed Nations estab­lished by the Eco­nom­ic and Social Coun­cil Res­o­lu­tion 106(VI) of 25 Feb­ru­ary 1948.  ECLAC’s man­date is to con­tribute to the eco­nom­ic and social devel­op­ment of Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean and to under­take activ­i­ties relat­ed to pro­duc­tion, pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and man­age­ment, inter­na­tion­al trade and inte­gra­tion, eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, social devel­op­ment, sus­tain­able devel­op­ment and human set­tle­ments, and nat­ur­al resources and infra­struc­ture, among oth­er issues.  ECLAC’s mis­sion is to rein­force the eco­nom­ic and social ties among coun­tries in Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean and that of the region with oth­er economies around the world. The 2030 Agen­da places peo­ple at its core and aims to achieve a rights-based sus­tain­able devel­op­ment under a renewed glob­al part­ner­ship. Pover­ty erad­i­ca­tion and address­ing inequal­i­ties are cen­tral in the new Agen­da, and are key pri­or­i­ties for Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean. ECLAC brings to EPOG+ its skills in devel­op­ment eco­nom­ics and its deep knowl­edge of South and Cen­tral America.

    The Euro­pean Trade Union Insti­tute (ETUI) is the inde­pen­dent research and train­ing cen­tre of the Euro­pean Trade Union Con­fed­er­a­tion (ETUC). It is a non-prof­it inter­na­tion­al asso­ci­a­tion who received receives finan­cial sup­port from the Euro­pean Union. The ETUI con­ducts stud­ies on socio-eco­nom­ic top­ics and indus­tri­al rela­tions and mon­i­tors Euro­pean pol­i­cy devel­op­ments of strate­gic impor­tance for the world of labour. The over­all pur­pose of ETUC is to sup­port social dia­logue and pro­mote a social Europe. To sup­port, strength­en and stim­u­late the Euro­pean trade union move­ment, the ETUI pro­vides inde­pen­dent fact-based analy­sis and orig­i­nal research on issues of impor­tance for the social dimen­sion of Europe. The ETUI con­ducts stud­ies and research­es on macro­eco­nom­ics and social poli­cies in Europe, indus­tri­al rela­tions and health and safe­ty at work in Europe. It cre­ates bridges between the aca­d­e­m­ic sphere, the world of research and the trade union move­ment in order to encour­age inde­pen­dent research on top­ics of deci­sive rel­e­vance to the world of labour. It pro­vides the ETUC and its affil­i­ates with pro­grammes and exchanges that strength­en the Euro­pean trade union iden­ti­ty. The ETUI pro­vides tech­ni­cal assis­tance in the field of health and safe­ty with a view to achiev­ing a high lev­el of occu­pa­tion­al health and safe­ty pro­tec­tion for work­ers through­out Europe. The ETUI research’s allows link­ing sev­er­al themes that are treat­ed with­in the EPOG+ pro­gramme: the analy­sis of eco­nom­ic cri­sis and socioe­co­nom­ic tran­si­tion, the sus­tain­able devel­op­ment, the indus­tri­al pol­i­cy and dig­i­tal tran­si­tion, the analy­sis of labour mar­ket and the future of the EU.

    Logo INET

    The Insti­tute for New Eco­nom­ic Think­ing (INET) is a non­par­ti­san, non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tion devot­ed to devel­op­ing and shar­ing the ideas that can repair the econ­o­my, in the wake of finan­cial cri­sis of 2009, and cre­ate a more equal, pros­per­ous, and just soci­ety. The INET con­duct and com­mis­sion research, con­vene forums for exchang­ing ideas, devel­op cur­ric­u­la, and nur­ture a glob­al com­mu­ni­ty of young schol­ars to meet cur­rent and future chal­lenges. One of the main objec­tives of the INET is to build a glob­al com­mu­ni­ty of new eco­nom­ic thinkers through their grantees and research net­works, part­ner­ships with lead­ing uni­ver­si­ties and insti­tu­tions, high-pro­file events, and grow­ing stu­dent move­ments. Their works are ground­ed in his­to­ry and are mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary. INET researchers’ start from the prin­ci­ple that com­plex­i­ty and uncer­tain­ty are inher­ent in eco­nom­ic and finan­cial sys­tems, and they ques­tion the­o­ries based upon the flawed assump­tion that humans always behave ratio­nal­ly and pre­dictably. The top­ics addressed by INET are high­ly rel­e­vant with all those taught in the EPOG+ pro­gramme: the rela­tion­ship between finance and the broad­er econ­o­my, inequal­i­ty and dis­tri­b­u­tion, the eco­nom­ics of inno­va­tion, and envi­ron­ment and resource sustainability.

    The Inter­con­ti­nen­tal net­work for the pro­mo­tion of social sol­i­dar­i­ty econ­o­my (RIPESS) includes actors and net­works from every con­ti­nent. It coor­di­nates the pro­mo­tion of social sol­i­dar­i­ty econ­o­my (SSE) prac­tices, poli­cies and cul­ture around the world, through its mem­ber net­works and organ­i­sa­tions. The inher­ent nature of RIPESS includes the objec­tive of con­tribut­ing to sys­temic, trans­for­ma­tive change. It does this by demon­strat­ing how much SSE con­tributes in terms of real answers at local lev­el to the exist­ing sys­tem that is clear­ly show­ing its lim­its. RIPESS mem­bers believe in the impor­tance of the glob­al­i­sa­tion of sol­i­dar­i­ty, and the abil­i­ty to build and strength­en an econ­o­my that places peo­ple and plan­et at the cen­tre of its activ­i­ties. RIPESS Europe – its Euro­pean con­ti­nen­tal net­work — includes 40 sec­to­r­i­al, nation­al and inter-sec­to­r­i­al net­works in 16 coun­tries. The net­work gath­ers thou­sands of SSE stake­hold­ers and orga­ni­za­tions at the Euro­pean lev­el, facil­i­tat­ing net­work inter-coop­er­a­tion, aware­ness rais­ing, peer-train­ing and com­mon advo­ca­cy. The Euro­pean team is a coor­di­na­tion of rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the net­works and is not dis­trib­uted in sev­er­al coun­tries. At the aca­d­e­m­ic lev­el, RIPESS has con­nec­tions with many uni­ver­si­ties who have Master’s or PhD pro­grammes on SSE, also through the RIUESS (the inter-uni­ver­si­ty net­work pro­mot­ing SSE), as well as with stu­dent organ­i­sa­tions. RIPESS allows EPOG+ to access firms and organ­i­sa­tions world­wide cov­er­ing all the dimen­sions of the pro­gramme but with the per­spec­tive of the SSE. 

    TheAIR­net (Aca­d­e­m­ic-Indus­try Research net­work) is a not-for-prof­it research orga­ni­za­tion devot­ed to the propo­si­tion that a sound under­stand­ing of the dynam­ics of indus­tri­al devel­op­ment requires col­lab­o­ra­tion between aca­d­e­m­ic schol­ars and indus­try experts. TheAIR­net engages in up-to-date, in-depth, and inci­sive research and com­men­tary on issues relat­ed to indus­tri­al inno­va­tion and eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment in order to under­stand the ways in which, through inno­va­tion, busi­ness­es and gov­ern­ments can con­tribute to equi­table and sta­ble eco­nom­ic. As a research orga­ni­za­tion, it per­forms sys­tem­at­ic schol­ar­ly research. The fund­ing for their research comes from pub­lic and pri­vate agen­cies that seek con­tri­bu­tions to knowl­edge about how and under what con­di­tions the oper­a­tion of the econ­o­my can result in sta­ble and equi­table growth – and what can be done to reform its oper­a­tion when it does not. TheAIR­net brings an exper­tise to EPOG+ in the fields of inno­va­tion and uni­ver­si­ty-indus­try relations.

    CNF-Unesco

    The French Nation Com­mis­sion for Unesco (CNF-Unesco) was cre­at­ed in 1946. It works in close col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Min­istries of Nation­al Edu­ca­tion, High­er Edu­ca­tion and Research; Cul­ture and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion; For­eign Affairs and Inter­na­tion­al Devel­op­ment; Ecol­o­gy, Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment and Ener­gy; City, Youth and Sports; of Econ­o­my, Indus­try and Dig­i­tal. Inter­face between France and UNESCO, the CNF-Unesco has sev­er­al mis­sions. Among them: to build a pool of high-lev­el experts, in order to mobi­lize French exper­tise for the ben­e­fit of UNESCO’s action; to serve as a lab­o­ra­to­ry and forum for the exchange of ideas relat­ed to the Organ­i­sa­tion’s agen­da; to be source of pro­pos­al to feed and renew UNESCO’s pro­grammes; to coor­di­nate and run, at the nation­al lev­el, the net­works set up by UNESCO to pub­li­cise their pro­grammes; to strength­en coop­er­a­tion with civ­il soci­ety; to ini­ti­ate and imple­ment inter­na­tion­al coop­er­a­tions in UNESCO’s fields of com­pe­tence. The EPOG+ pro­gramme has received the patron­age of the the French Nation­al Com­mis­sion at Unesco patron­age.

    The pro­gramme has received the sup­port of the “Hauts-de-France” region.

    The pro­gramme has received sup­port from the French-Ital­ian Uni­ver­si­ty with the Vin­ci Grant.
