ENGAGE works with one external stakeholder each cohort
Across the module's three-year run, ENGAGE rotates through an NGO, a public-sector, and an industry stakeholder — consistent with the Grant Agreement's commitment to collaboration with "NGOs, civil servants, and industry representatives." Here's who's working with students this cohort, and who came before.
Instituto Internacional Arayara
ENGAGE is proud to welcome Instituto Internacional Arayara, a Brazilian environmental organisation, as this cohort’s external stakeholder.
Arayara is the largest climate environmental litigation NGO in Latin America: it takes climate and environmental cases to court, backed by scientific research, public campaigns and education. Much of its work concerns the Amazon and Brazil’s coast, from challenging oil and gas auctions and offshore drilling to tracking coal, gas and the money behind fossil fuel expansion, with teams from Brasília to Belém, at the mouth of the Amazon.
These questions reach well beyond Brazil: European companies, investors and regulators sit in the same global supply and finance chains that the EU’s green transition rules increasingly reach into.
Arayara’s Executive Director, Nicole Oliveira, joins ENGAGE for a guest session on climate litigation strategy, showing students how climate law is argued and tested in practice.
We are grateful for Arayara’s generosity, and we look forward to a collaboration that brings front-line experience from the Amazon region into the study of EU law.

The stakeholder collaboration feeds directly into the EU public consultation submission and the closing simulation.
