The DCU Brexit Institute and GSK Stockmann in Luxembourg have announced a partnership which will see GSK Stockmann become a new sponsor of the Institute. GSK Stockmann will support the core activities of the Brexit Institute, including its research and policy work on the relations between the EU and the UK post withdrawal and the future of Europe more generally.

The DCU Brexit Institute is Ireland’s only and Europe’s first centre created to analyse Brexit from a research and a policy perspective, and in recent years has increasingly pivoted its work on European affairs, including by leading major projects on the future of Europe funded by the European Commission and the German Ministry of Education and Research.

DCU President Professor Daire Keogh welcomed the partnership with GSK Stockmann “as an affirmation of the achievement and ambition of the DCU Brexit Institute.  It is a tangible reflection of the international character of the Institute and its contribution, through engagement and scholarship, to the analysis of post-Brexit Europe.”
