Joan Pere Plaza Font’s teaching and research work spans several EU-related topics, in particular interregionalism, European institutions and, more recently, EU trade policy, an area in which he currently coordinates the project Knowledge and Innovation for the European Trade Challenges (Jean Monnet Module, Project No. 621100-EPP-1-2020-1-ES-EPPJMO-MODULE).
Deeply concerned with his teaching duties and pedagogical innovation, he is a scientific adviser to SimLearn, a Belgium-based spin-off that creates innovative online storytelling tools to unpack the functioning of EU political systems.
In his spare time, he grows tomatoes and aubergines in his urban vegetable garden and spends hours baking homemade bread.
