Borders are now one of the most politically sensitive and operationally complex areas of European policymaking: from migration and security, to trade, technology, and regulation. Few professional development opportunities are specifically designed for those shaping and scrutinising border policy in practice.
The BIG Summer Institutes are designed to meet that need.
Coming to Brussels for the first time in summer 2026, the Summer Institutes hosted by the Borders in Globalization Research Lab (BIG_Lab) at the University of Victoria will offer a practitioner-oriented program designed for policymakers, senior advisors, and teams working on border-related portfolios.
