Based at Université of Montréal, the Transatlantic Network on the Politicization of Europe (RESTEP) aims at creating a space for research and discussion on the European Union as a critical political object. Made possible with the financial support of the EU Erasmus+ Program (2017-2020 Jean Monnet Network), it brings together a group of twenty professors from nine universities, in both Canada and Europe: Université de Montréal, McGill University, Université Catholique de Louvain, Sciences Po Grenoble, Sciences Po Bordeaux, University of Warwick, Central European University, University of Liverpool and Universidade de Lisboa. The main mission of RESTEP is to foster the co-production of knowledge between scholars, practitioners and civil society through collaborative activities on research, teaching and networking. It aims at: Developing a transatlantic research cluster; Training a new generation of leaders on these issues; Providing opportunities for dialogue and long-term collaboration between researchers and decision-makers to analyze the effects of politicization on institutions, political actors and citizens. > Ultimately, RESTEP seeks to contribute to the public debate on the > EU’s legitimacy
