Communication and Media Strategies
MSEUCA stands for Communication and Media Strategies for EU experts in Canada.
This project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Action of the European Union and the Centre for Global Studies, 番茄社区.

Canadian universities have outstanding scholarly expertise when it comes to the field of EU and European Studies. Still, there is a remarkable mismatch between the exceptional research knowledge in the academic community and the knowledge available to the broader Canadian public. In order to instigate a more successful knowledge mobilization, MSEUCA develops effective communication and media strategies for EU Studies in Canada. To mobilize this knowledge this project has developed various activities to increase the media savviness of individual scholars; promotes direct connections with journalists/media producers reflecting the importance of local networks;
The MSEUCA team included Oliver Schmidtke, Beate Schmidtke, Amy Verdun, Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly, Valerie D'Erman, and Chorong Kim.
