About us

Building bridges with the European Union

     The School of Politics, Government and International Relations at Universidad Austral was born in 2015 with the mission of contributing decisively to the improvement of institutional quality and public and social management in Argentina and the region. We do so by carrying out research, education and transfer activities pertaining to public policy and political science, international relations and environmental affairs.

     On July 30, 2024, the School of Government was awarded a Jean Monnet Module as part of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission. This recognition supports our mission to strengthen relations between the European Union and the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. Launched within the framework of the EU’s renewed policy to deepen ties with LAC, the project includes a comprehensive program focused on training, research, and dissemination.
