A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between The University of the West Indies (The UWI) and the European University Institute (EUI), is expected to deepen ties between the Caribbean and Europe and help The UWI protect the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in the European Union (EU).<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Signed virt<\/span><\/span>ually on July 14, 2020, by Professor<\/span><\/span> Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice-Chancellor of The UWI and Prof<\/span><\/span>essor<\/span><\/span> Renaud Dehousse, President of the EUI,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span>he agreement includes the establishment of a research centre<\/span><\/span>. That centre<\/span><\/span> will help to promote inter-regional and intra-regional development and encourage discourse on how transnational and global issues impact the Caribbean Region and Europe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span><\/span> UWI and EUI<\/span><\/span> partnership foresees collaboration in areas of studies and research common to both institutions<\/span><\/span>. Areas of focus will include<\/span><\/span>sustainable development, multilateral trade, gender equality, security, environment and climate change, migration, energy, regional integration processes and transnational governance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, <\/span><\/span>Vice-Chancellor<\/span><\/span> Beckles <\/span><\/span>saw the economic\u00a0and financial vulnerability of CARICOM as a consequence of Brexit and began to pursue a strategy to position The UWI in the EU as a strategic response.\u00a0 Noting that the region needs greater policy support within the EU, in light of the EU downgrade of the region’s finance sector, and poor responses of regional entrepreneurs to the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), he noted that The UWI had to step up to create an academic research and business advisory hub in the EU.\u00a0 After a year of <\/span><\/span>negotiations,<\/span><\/span> the EUI agreed to host a joint UWI-EU centre. \u201cIt will be anchored in Florence, Italy and will provide services to our foreign service community, business groups, advocacy leaders in issues such as public health, climate change, economics equity for small island nations\u201d, <\/span><\/span>Vice-Chancellor Beckles <\/span><\/span>explained.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to the relationship between Europe and the Caribbean over 500 years as \u201cone of the most intense historical experiences between two parts of the world and the basis of modernity as we know it\u201d, <\/span><\/span>Vice-Chancellor Beckles<\/span><\/span> said \u201cIt is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0a relationship that has to be sustained within the context of its positive contributions, mutually to Europe and to the Caribbean and of course to the wider world.\u00a0 So, it is perfectly normal therefore that universities ought to be coming together within this context to sustain the benefits and to provide a vision for the future of this relationship.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pointing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defined<\/span><\/span> by the United Nations, he said, <\/span><\/span>\u201cthey have certainly created a context within which universities are asked to become activists in the pursuit of these very laudable goals that are intended to move our cultures and our civilizations ahead within <\/span><\/span>the finest values of humanity, <\/span><\/span>transcending issues of trade and also <\/span><\/span>focusing<\/span><\/span> interest on culture and broadly speaking, development.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Noting that joint activities by universities are very significant in effective achievement of the SDGs, <\/span><\/span>Vice-Chancellor Beckles<\/span><\/span> said that The UWI, for example, has been selected by the International Association of Universities to provide global advocacy around some of these sustainable goals, in particular, goal #13 which focuses on climate smart issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we seek therefore to bring our activism in line with our teaching, our research, our advocacy, and the creation of partnerships that will enable all of us to make a greater contribution to the world and to humanity, this context is very, very significant.\u00a0 So we are honoured and it is a tremendous pleasure for us to begin this partnership agreement with the EUI.\u00a0 We are of one <\/span><\/span>mind;<\/span><\/span> we have a common vision.\u00a0\u00a0 Against the background of a heritage of over 500 years, it is logical therefore that we should be activists on many areas of trade, of cultural exchange and of course within the context of the sustainable development goals\u201d, <\/span><\/span>Vice-Chancellor Beckles <\/span><\/span>declared.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Dehousse said that given T<\/span><\/span>he UWI\u2019s excellent reputation, \u201cthe partnership is a kind of bridgehead in the broader Caribbean and Latin American world and represents an opening towards a region of the world in which we are still developing contacts.\u201d He added that \u201cEurope\u2019s problems today are no longer confined to what is going on within its borders, and it is absolutely indispensable for us to open up towards other regions of the world, as well as to other kinds of actors.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Work has begun on the implementation of the MOU at both The UWI and the EUI.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
