Dr. Muñiz is a Fellow (formerly Senior Associate) at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. He is also one of the promoters of the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship (PETR), which was created in July of 2017 after the Program on Transatlantic Relations at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (WCFIA) was transfered to the Kennedy School of Government. Working in close cooperation with the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies and the WCFIA, the TRI endeavours to strengthen research and teaching on transatlantic issues within the University, focusing on European, North American and Latin American social, economic, political, security, and environmental issues that are of particular relevance to the transatlantic relationship.
