Its vision is to consolidate CUNEF Universidad as a European benchmark in Political Economy.
More than 100 researchers from all over the world have participated in the first four editions. The projects presented in CUNEF Universidad have been published in the most prestigious international journals.

The huge success of the MAPE Workshop, year after year, just goes to show that Political Economy is gaining more and more relevance as a science, and CUNEF Universidad’s leadership in this field is growing with it.
