CDIG
The Center for International Law and Global Governance is a research center that forms part of the Royal University Institute of European Studies, recognized by the European Union as a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, and which collaborates closely with other universities and research centers. Committed to the study and promotion of international law, the Center for International Law and Global Governance (CDIG) was founded in 2020 with the aim of serving as a forum for debate through symposia, conferences, publications, and projects. The center’s coordinator is Sandra Galimberti Díaz-Faes.
The center is interdisciplinary in nature, with a primary focus on law and economics; its official languages are Spanish and English. We collaborate closely with other international and national partner organizations, such as the Center for Relations with China, the Center for Competition Policy and Market Regulation, and the Center for European Foundations and Values, with the aim of becoming a leading research center committed to the study and promotion of international law.
