Project Information
The Academic Research Network on Agencification of EU Executive Governance (TARN) aims to fill two particular lacunae in current agency research by:
- promoting in-depth multi- and interdisciplinary research on critical concerns about the position and operation of EU agencies and agency-like bodies to integrate isolated disciplinary approaches;
- encouraging the dialogue between academia and practitioners that is needed to enhance the democratization of the EU in scholarship and practice.
By bringing together renowned and young academics and practitioners from various disciplines and policy areas, pooling knowledge on research and legal provisions, policy documents and information on the practical operation of EU agencies, TARN will operate as a research, information and agenda-setting network informing agency operation within the EU in a transnational setting.
