Biography:

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).
