At the Jacques Delors Centre, academic research goes hand in hand with the development of concrete ideas for future-oriented EU policies. The synergies between academic and policy analysis make the Centre a unique place for European research and debate. Our academic findings form a key starting point for our policy recommendations, while our think tank work generates new research questions. By integrating the two, we bring facts and analysis to the discussions on European policy and drive them forward. This way, we strive to promote a strong Europe in the spirit of our namesake – Jacques Delors.
The JDC Scholarship aims to support exceptional students who are passionate about contributing to the advancement of European public policy. It seeks applicants with a clear interest in EU politics, governance, and policymaking who wish to join a vibrant community of scholars and practitioners addressing Europe’s most pressing challenges.
The scholarship is supported by the Henrik Enderlein Fund.

Daniel Calero is the current recipient of the Jacques Delors Centre Scholarship and Master of International Affairs candidate at the Hertie School, with a concentration in European Governance.
Prior to joining the Hertie School, Daniel accumulated extensive experience in diplomatic advising, trade policy, and international affairs, having held positions at diplomatic missions and international organizations in Germany and his country of origin, Ecuador. Fluent in Spanish, English, and German, he has also worked strengthening EU-Latin American relations. He holds a MSc in Political Economy of Europe from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from Universidad San Francisco de Quito.
As he begins his studies at the Hertie School, Daniel is looking forward to exploring how the EU integration model can navigate pressing geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, from Russian expansionism and the complexities of EU enlargement to the impact of the second China shock. As a recipient of the JDC Scholarship, he is excited to leverage his time at Hertie to develop the analytical and policy instruments for the advancement of a stronger, value-based European foreign policy.
