The Intensive Workshop on Global Affairs will be a three-day event, open to PhD candidates, post-doc students and young researchers, from Portuguese and foreign institutions, held at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto, and whose aim is to allow the discussion of ongoing research work on International Relations and closely-related areas.

The event is a natural follow-up of a previous Conference of Young Researchers on International Relations, which took place in 2014, also at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto, and which counted with the attendance of Stefano Guzzini and Christian Kaunert.
