    The GLOBAL COOP part­ners are host­ing stu­dents for one or more semes­ters. The con­tent and joint or mul­ti­ple degree(s) award­ed to stu­dents depend on each stu­den­t’s mobil­i­ty path­way.

    The Uni­ver­si­dad Nacional de San Martín (Nation­al Uni­ver­si­ty of Gen­er­al San Martín, UNSAM) (Argenti­na) has been found­ed in 1992. It has emerged as a lead­ing high­er edu­ca­tion insti­tu­tion in Latin Amer­i­ca. It part­ners with the Net­work IDEAs (Inter­na­tion­al Devel­op­ment Eco­nom­ics Asso­ci­a­tion), led by Indi­an schol­ars and bring­ing togeth­er sev­er­al uni­ver­si­ties from the Glob­al South, as well as with CLACSO (Latin Amer­i­can Coun­cil for Social Sci­ences). Its Win­ter School on “Advanced Top­ics in Polit­i­cal Econ­o­my” enjoys an inter­na­tion­al rep­u­ta­tion, attract­ing stu­dents from around the world, par­tic­u­lar­ly from the Glob­al South. UNSAM brings its exper­tise in eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, ener­gy tran­si­tion, indus­tri­al pol­i­cy, and inter­na­tion­al green archi­tec­ture and gov­er­nance. Addi­tion­al­ly, it offers spe­cialised knowl­edge on dig­i­tal tran­si­tion issues (Track 1, Semes­ter 2).

    The Uni­ver­si­dade Estad­ual de Camp­inas (State Uni­ver­si­ty of Camp­inas, UNICAMP) (Brazil) acts as coor­di­na­tor of the GLOBAL COOP pro­gramme. It is recog­nised as one of the most pres­ti­gious uni­ver­si­ties in Latin Amer­i­ca. It has a strong rep­u­ta­tion in polit­i­cal econ­o­my, thanks to its plu­ral­ist approach and exper­tise in stud­ies on devel­op­ment and the chal­lenges faced by periph­er­al coun­tries. It plays a promi­nent role in the BRICS Net­work Uni­ver­si­ty, the Glob­al Labour Uni­ver­si­ty, and the Fudan-Latin Amer­i­ca Uni­ver­si­ty Con­sor­tium (coor­di­nat­ed by Fudan Uni­ver­si­ty, the 3rd best uni­ver­si­ty in Chi­na). UNICAMP’s mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary Cen­tre for Chi­na-Brazil Stud­ies is among the most renowned research hubs on Chi­na in Latin Amer­i­ca. Addi­tion­al­ly, it hosts an Obser­va­to­ry for Research on Latin Amer­i­ca. It brings in-depth analy­sis of glob­al eco­nom­ic hier­ar­chies, with a par­tic­u­lar empha­sis on the Brazil­ian econ­o­my, togeth­er with a crit­i­cal Latin Amer­i­can per­spec­tive on cli­mate change eco­nom­ics and avant-garde field research on the effects of cli­mate change on the Ama­zon rain­for­est (Ama­zon­FACE Project) (Tracks 1 & 2, Semes­ter 3). UNICAMP brings into GLOBAL COOP its exper­tise to both con­cerned tracks on the chal­lenges of the Glob­al South relat­ed to its posi­tion in the glob­al val­ue chains and in the Inter­na­tion­al mon­e­tary and finan­cial sys­tem. It will also coor­di­nate the inter-track joint sem­i­nars to devel­op a per­spec­tive on the Glob­al South by the con­cerned actors and fos­ter­ing a “dia­logue of four con­ti­nents”, with Latin Amer­i­ca and the EU.

    The Uni­ver­si­dade Fed­er­al do Rio de Janeiro (Feder­al Uni­ver­si­ty of Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ) (Brazil) is is wide­ly regard­ed as Brazil’s lead­ing fed­er­al uni­ver­si­ty. It main­tains strong inter­na­tion­al ties, play­ing a promi­nent role in the Glo­belics net­work and active­ly par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Soci­ety for the Advance­ment of Socio-Eco­nom­ics (SASE). UFRJ’s con­tri­bu­tions empha­sise crit­i­cal and plu­ral­ist train­ing, par­tic­u­lar­ly in struc­tural­ist devel­op­ment eco­nom­ics, macro­eco­nom­ics, agri­cul­ture and indus­tri­al and inno­va­tion eco­nom­ics. With­in GLOBAL COOP, UFRJ con­tributes with cours­es on mon­e­tary pow­er, finance, struc­tur­al change, and sus­tain­abil­i­ty in both nation­al and glob­al con­texts. Stu­dents are trained in struc­tural­ist approach­es, explore the frame­works of glob­al envi­ron­men­tal con­ven­tions, and broad­en their analy­sis to encom­pass eco­nom­ic and (geo)political con­texts across the Glob­al South (Track 2, Semes­ter 2).

    Uni­ver­si­dad Nacional de Colom­bia (Nation­al Uni­ver­si­ty of colom­bia, UNAL) is one of the top uni­ver­si­ties in Latin Amer­i­ca. UNAL brings exper­tise in envi­ron­men­tal con­flicts, the inter­play of cul­ture, envi­ron­ment, and soci­ety, as well as alter­na­tives to tra­di­tion­al devel­op­ment mod­els. It has a cam­pus in the Ama­zon region (UNAL Ama­zo­nia) ded­i­cat­ed to research on the Ama­zon rain­for­est and its bio­di­ver­si­ty. Addi­tion­al­ly, UNAL’s School of Eco­nom­ics has sev­er­al schol­ars cur­rent­ly hold­ing key posi­tions in the nation­al gov­ern­ment, includ­ing two direc­tors of the Cen­tral Bank of Colom­bia. UNAL will con­tribute to address­ing the ten­sions that may arise between eco­log­i­cal tran­si­tions, inequal­i­ty, and social jus­tice, offer­ing valu­able insights into the chal­lenges of achiev­ing sus­tain­able pros­per­i­ty (Track 3, Semes­ter 2).

    Uni­ver­sité de tech­nolo­gie de Com­piègne (Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­nol­o­gy of Com­piègne, UTC) is a found­ing mem­ber of “Alliance Sor­bonne Uni­ver­sité”, which received the French gov­ern­ment excel­lence ini­tia­tive grant (IdEX) in 2018. UTC is among the very best engi­neer­ing school in France. It is a place of aca­d­e­m­ic excel­lence where inter­dis­ci­pli­nary and inno­va­tion are sup­port­ed both in edu­ca­tion and research. UTC con­tributes with its exper­tise in explor­ing the role and lim­i­ta­tions of tech­nol­o­gy as part of the process of tran­si­tion­ing toward sus­tain­able pros­per­i­ty, with a par­tic­u­lar focus on the dig­i­tal tran­si­tion. As an engi­neer­ing school, UTC enhances con­nec­tions with indus­try and increas­es employ­a­bil­i­ty oppor­tu­ni­ties for grad­u­ates. It also gath­ers a net­work of macro­econ­o­mists and SFC/ABM mod­el­ers. The GLOBAL COOP involves aca­d­e­m­ic staff from the COSTECH lab.

    Sorbonne Université

    Sor­bonne Uni­ver­sité (Sor­bonne Uni­ver­si­ty, SU) is a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary, research-inten­sive and world-class aca­d­e­m­ic insti­tu­tion, which received the French gov­ern­ment excel­lence ini­tia­tive grant (IdEX) in 2018. Con­tin­u­ing the human­ist tra­di­tion of the Sor­bonne, it is devot­ed to meet­ing the sci­en­tif­ic chal­lenges of the 21st cen­tu­ry and spread­ing the knowl­edge cre­at­ed in its lab­o­ra­to­ries by its research teams to its stu­dents and to soci­ety as a whole. SU is made of three fac­ul­ties: arts and human­i­ties, sci­ence and engi­neer­ing, and med­i­cine. Its fac­ul­ty of arts and human­i­ties is today the largest fac­ul­ty in France in the field of arts, lan­guages, lit­er­a­ture, social sci­ences and human­i­ties. SU sup­ports the devel­op­ment of an inter­cul­tur­al con­text for its stu­dents through an inter­na­tion­al­i­sa­tion of its aca­d­e­m­ic pro­grams. SU brings the strengths of its renowned sci­en­tif­ic research cen­tres, focus­ing on ecol­o­gy, cli­mate change, ocean sci­ences, and more. As a core mem­ber of “EIT Cli­mate-KIC”, the EU’s largest pub­lic-pri­vate part­ner­ship on cli­mate inno­va­tion, SU dri­ves cut­ting-edge col­lab­o­ra­tion. Addi­tion­al­ly, SU and UTC are both mem­bers of the “Ini­tia­tive of Excel­lence (IDEX)”, which pro­motes inter­dis­ci­pli­nary excel­lence. SU has also estab­lished the “Insti­tute for the Envi­ron­men­tal Tran­si­tion (SU-ITE)”, a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary hub for research and inno­va­tion. It is also a core mem­ber of “EIT Cli­mate-KIC”, the EU’s largest pub­lic-pri­vate part­ner­ship address­ing cli­mate change through innovation.

    Uni­ver­sité Sor­bonne Nou­velle — Paris 3 (Sor­bonne Nou­velle Uni­ver­si­ty, USN) is a uni­ver­si­ty dat­ing back to the mid­dle of the 12th-cen­tu­ry. In the 1880s, the new Sor­bonne ren­o­va­tion project trans­formed the cam­pus ded­i­cat­ed to the Human­i­ties and the Sci­ences that we know today. The uni­ver­si­ty is inter­na­tion­al­ly renowned for its spe­cial­i­sa­tion in the Arts, Lan­guages, Let­ters, Social Sci­ences and con­tem­po­rary human­i­ties. Through its inter­na­tion­al expo­sure, Sor­bonne Nou­velle Uni­ver­si­ty imple­ments a pol­i­cy of wel­com­ing and inte­grat­ing inter­na­tion­al stu­dents, account­ing about 30 % of its over­all pop­u­la­tion. USN con­tributes the excep­tion­al exper­tise of its “Insti­tute of Advanced Stud­ies on Latin Amer­i­ca” (IHEAL), a glob­al­ly recog­nised cen­tre estab­lished in 1954, renowned for its decades-long tra­di­tion of aca­d­e­m­ic excel­lence in the social sci­ences and humanities

    These lead­ing high­er edu­ca­tion insti­tu­tions col­lab­o­rate as a hub, pro­vid­ing foun­da­tion­al knowl­edge with a par­tic­u­lar focus on macro­eco­nom­ics; micro­eco­nom­ics, insti­tu­tions and organ­i­sa­tions; crit­i­cal stud­ies on eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment; and Stock-Flow-Con­sis­tent (SFC) mod­el­ling. The Uni­ver­si­ty Sor­bonne Nou­velle hosts the Insti­tute for Advanced Stud­ies on Latin Amer­i­ca (IHEAL), offer­ing spe­cialised exper­tise in mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary stud­ies on Latin Amer­i­ca. They joint­ly offer the “Option SFC” for the Semes­ter 1 (Tracks 1, 2 and 3).

    The Uni­ver­sità degli stu­di di Siena (Uni­ver­si­ty of Siena, UNISI) (Italy) was found­ed in 1240. It has pro­duced advanced knowl­edge in every field of study and is today one of the most inno­v­a­tive Ital­ian and Euro­pean uni­ver­si­ties, with remark­able results in research, teach­ing, and ser­vices to the stu­dents. In addi­tion to the his­toric fac­ul­ties of Med­i­cine and Law, new fac­ul­ties were added: Phar­ma­cy (1933), Math­e­mat­i­cal, Phys­i­cal, and Nat­ur­al Sci­ences (1962), Eco­nom­ics (1966), Human­i­ties in Arez­zo (estab­lished in 1969 as a Teacher Train­ing Col­lege), Human­i­ties (1970), Engi­neer­ing (1992), and Polit­i­cal Sci­ences (1997). Today, we are one of the lead­ing Euro­pean insti­tu­tions, ful­ly com­mit­ted to the future with our ded­i­ca­tion to research and inno­va­tion. In GLOBAL COOP, UNISI pro­vides foun­da­tion­al knowl­edge with a par­tic­u­lar empha­sis on micro­eco­nom­ics and social inter­ac­tions, alter­na­tive macro­eco­nom­ic mod­els of eco­nom­ic growth and devel­op­ment in the Glob­al South. It also brings exper­tise on both con­ven­tion­al and crit­i­cal eco­nom­ic mod­els, the eco­nom­ics of Glob­al South devel­op­ment, and the inte­grat­ed assess­ment mod­els. It offers the “Option IAM” for the Semes­ter 1 (Tracks 1, 2 and 3).

    Jawa­har­lal Nehru Uni­ver­si­ty (JNU) is one of India’s lead­ing uni­ver­si­ties. It is recog­nised as a major insti­tu­tion for aca­d­e­m­ic coop­er­a­tion in the Glob­al South, notably through its par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Glob­al Labour Uni­ver­si­ty and sev­er­al oth­er inter­na­tion­al alliances. The Cen­tre for Infor­mal Sec­tor and Labour Stud­ies (CISLS) at the School of Social Sci­ences is a glob­al ref­er­ence in inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research on the infor­mal econ­o­my, with a par­tic­u­lar focus on India. JNU brings to GLOBAL COOP this high­ly spe­cif­ic and dis­tinc­tive spe­cial­i­sa­tion. It also links labour eco­nom­ics and infor­mal­i­ty to eco­log­i­cal stakes. As the infor­mal labour rep­re­sents around 90% of total jobs in many regions of the Glob­al South, this unique con­tri­bu­tion is essen­tial for address­ing the issue of a “just socioe­co­log­i­cal tran­si­tion”, in align­ment with the objec­tives of Track 3. As an asso­ciate part­ner, JNU hosts the stu­dents dur­ing Semes­ter 3 but does not award it degree.
