@CompetitionProf Accusing a l field of research of being pure ideology doesn’t seem like something the head of @eui_law should be doing. What about methodological pluralism @EUI_EU loves to proclaim?

Scared of some competition to your neoliberal BS, @CompetitionProf?

[EUI Researchers' Union @EUIResUnion]

Join us tomorrow, at Sala Europa and online. 🇵🇸

[EUI Researchers' Union @EUIResUnion]

Once again the Spanish representative from @UniversidadGob is not coming to the High Council. Spanish researchers have to live precariously while their government fails its duties under the EUI convention!

[EUI Researchers' Union @EUIResUnion]

Today & Tomorrow are the High Council meetings at @EUI_EU. We hope the reps of the Member States took our intervention last year to heart & will do their utmost to move towards grant equality and better researcher representation.
Show some courage, WE NEED CONVENTION CHANGE!

📢 Pride Day @EUI_EU
📌 TOMORROW, Friday 7th June

[Eréndira León @erendiraleonsa]

At @EUI_EU there is an insane grant disparity among researchers. In all of this, Spain @UniversidadGob @CienciaGob keeps ignoring our demands for decent living and working conditions and they don’t even show up to the HC @EUIResUnion #EUIUniquelyUnequal #SpainIsDifferent

[AltSOU @AltSOU_]

Collective Statement of the Students for Palestine about the events of today.

[Veronica Anghel @anghel_v1]

💡 Yes! You go, @patriziananz @EUI_EU ! Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

And many thanks to @AltSOU_ for pushing for the right conversations to replace the wrong ones.

[EUI Queer and Feminist Studies Working Group @EUI_QFG]

Coinciding with the @AltSOU_ & the student intifada protests, the conference's themes resonated deeply with ongoing grassroots movements, grounding our academic debates in real-time political struggles.

It was a pleasure, & we can’t wait to work with you again in the future!

[EUI Queer and Feminist Studies Working Group @EUI_QFG]

Our Intimately Material conference finished last week! We were so grateful to be able to organize this event and bring together scholars working with Marxist & materialist approaches to gender & sexuality!

[Gildelen ATY-BIYO @gatybiyo]

Such a refreshing change from what we’ve seen other universities across Europe do. This has made our work for @AltSOU_ and the Florentine encampment so easier!

[AltSOU @AltSOU_]

We are grateful for all the support @patriziananz has provided to both the AltSou and the Florence Encampment.
