The Global Observatory emerges from OBREAL which was created as a network in order to implement a cooperation project of the European Commission (DG RELEX y EuropeAid). At that moment, the Commission pointed out in its call that the relationship between the European Union and Latin America had become closer as a result of bi-regional summits, existing association agreements (i.e. México and Chile) and association agreement negotiations. Therefore, more and more advices were required for decision-making in the area of bi-regional relationships.
OBREAL was born in this context, with the aim of contributing to the creation of a network of institutions and organizationsfrom both regions which had no coordination mechanisms and/or limited visibility. As a result, OBREAL was set up by 23 academic institutions, research centres in Europe and Latin America, and their own networks.
Between 2004 and 2016, OBREAL’s research was organized in five thematic areas:
Since 2017, the Global Observatory re-defined its former thematic areas and has extended its outreach from Europe to Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, connecting important actors in diverse sectors in collaborative projects for development. In this new context, and keeping its main goals, the Global Observatory concentrated its actions in project managing, incorporating new members and supporting institutions in the network.
In Africa and Arab Countries, the Global Observatory works to promote research collaboration and capacity building among universities.
It addresses university leadership from both regions, but also heads of doctoral schools, individual scholars and project leaders involved in bi-regional research collaboration in energy, water and sustainability, from sciences, engineering and social sciences, and last but not least, policy makers and representatives from enterprise and innovative industries related to the issues.
Global Observatory’s strategy is to open a sustainable process of dialogue and mutual understanding, to exchange knowledge and to increase cooperation between African, Arab and European Universities and other stakeholders in these regions.

Politecnico di Milano since 1863 – A world class university for Architecture, Design and Engineering. The Politecnico di Milano is one of the most outstanding technical Universities in Europe. Founded in 1863, in many disciplines, it is regarded as a leading research institution worldwide.
Nowadays, it covers the 17th position in the QS ranking for Engineering and Technical universities worldwide (6th in Europe). Politecnico di Milano has three main campuses located in Milan, economic capital of Italy, the heart of fashion and design industries, and five more premises around the Lombardy region. Many important scientists and architects studied and taught here, among them Achille Castiglioni, Gió Ponti, Renzo Piano and Aldo Rossi, both Pritzker Prize in 1990 and 1998 respectively, and Giulio Natta, Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963. The Politecnico di Milano offers innovative programs at all levels within its schools of Engineering, Architecture and Design. Thanks to a strong internationalization policy, almost all programs at the master levels are taught entirely in English, attracting an ever-increasing number of talented foreign students, forming a wide community from more than 100 countries.
Teaching is increasingly related to research, a key commitment that enables to achieve results of high international standards, while creating connections with the business world. Strategic research is carried out mainly in the fields of energy, transport, planning, management, design, mathematics and natural and applied sciences, ICT, built environment, cultural heritage, with more than 130 laboratories, among which a Wind Tunnel, a Crash Test center, PoliFAB and PoliFactory.
The School of Management creates and shares knowledge at the intersection between engineering, management and economics. Among its facilities, the Industry 4.0 lab bridges interdisciplinary research between industrial, mechanical, automation and electronical engineers.
Established in 1859, PoliTO is the oldest technical University in Italy. For more than 150 years, it has been one of the most prestigious public institutions in Italy for education, research, technological transfer and services in all sectors of architecture and engineering. Ranking among the first twenty European technical universities, it is worldwide recognized as a high quality centre for education and research. At PoliTO, 900 Professors and Researchers carry out research and provide education to 30.000 students, of which 5.000 international from 100 different countries.
At the graduate level, PoliO offers 32 M.S. and 12 Ph.D. courses, many of which in English.
PoliTO has been able to reconcile tradition and innovation by being deeply rooted locally and at the same time by establishing itself as an attractive University for students and talents coming to study and work from all over the world. Thanks to the quality of its research and to the tradition of liaising with companies, PoliTO ensures students a swift work placement and attracts significant investments and collaborations with blue chip companies.
PoliTO’s experience in European projects is in research, technology transfer, as well as international cooperation and mobility in programmes such as FP6-7, LLP, Erasmus Mundus, TEMPUS, EuropeAid and more recently in Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+. Throughout the years, PoliTO has proved to be one of the top Italian universities for volume of collaborations and quality of the results achieved.
With its recent Strategic Plan-Horizon 2020, PoliTO focuses its strategies on an even greater commitment in the social and economic field, in order to turn its campuses into neuralgic centres of an international network of academic, industrial and institutional partners, with the aim of sharing agreements and projects for a more collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
