Centre for International Law and Global Governance (CDIG)
 

The Centre for International Law and Global Governance is a research centre which is part of the Royal University Institute for European Studies, recognised by the European Union as a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, and which collaborates closely with other Universities and Research Centres. Committed to the study and promotion of international law, the Centre for International Law and Global Governance (CDIG) was created in 2020 with the aim of serving as a forum for debate, through symposia, conferences, publications and projects. The coordinator of the centre is Sandra Galimberti Díaz-Faes.


The centre has an interdisciplinary character, with legal and economics as its main areas of work, and its official languages are Spanish and English. We collaborate closely with other international and national partner organisations such as the Centre for Relations with China, the Centre for Competition Policy and Market Regulation or the Centre for European Foundations and Values, aspiring to be a leading research centre committed to the study and promotion of international law.
