Privacy Notice - Survey

Privacy policy related to the 2021 Survey of International Organizations

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”) and the national legislation implementing it, the Fundació Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) informs you about the processing of your personal data related to the 2021 Survey of International Organizations.

Purpose of the survey

This survey is part of the project “Global Governance and the European Union: Future Trends and Scenarios” (GLOBE), which is funded by a European Union Horizon 2020 grant (no. 822654). GLOBE addresses the strategic priorities identified in the EU Global Strategy - such as trade, development, security, climate change, migration and global finance- aiming to forecast global governance developments in these fields.


The online survey “International Organizations and the Future of Global Governance” will provide relevant inputs for the GLOBE project. The survey questions are inspired by some theoretical concerns, evaluating how international organizations could cope with global governance challenges in the future. It is absolutely confidential and the results will be anonymized and treated at the aggregate level. The survey will be used to develop an anonymized dataset. This dataset will be the source of different academic open-access publications, which will be open to the public and also to the survey participants.

Who is responsible for the research project?

The project is coordinated by the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internationals (IBEI), a graduate school and research institute focused on international studies. Besides that, in GLOBE participate: the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies (GGS); the Global Governance Institute/University College London (UCL); Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB); Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics, ESADEgeo; Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales in Buenos Aires (Argentina); Universitas Bina Nusantara (Indonesia) and Fundación Privada Instituto de Salud Global Barcelona (IS Global).

All these will be kept only for the duration of the survey (May-October 2021) and deleted after that. The fully anonymized information will be stored separately from the rest of the collected data and will only be accessible to those working on the project at IBEI: Jacint Jordana, GLOBE project coordinator and the survey leader and Adam Holesch, GLOBE project manager and survey assistant.

Which third parties will we share your data with?

  • The data will not be shared with any third parties.

International data transfer

  • The data will not be transferred internationally.

What kind of data do we process?

  • Identity and contact data: first name and surname, email address, organisation you work in.
