The Routledge Handbook of European Integrations fills a significant gap in the European studies literature by providing crucial and groundbreaking coverage of several key areas that are usually neglected or excluded in European integration collections. Whilst still examining the largest and most influential institutions, bodies and highly funded policy areas as acknowledged dominant topics in European studies, it crucially does so with much greater balance by devoting equal billing to areas such as such as culture in European integration or new technologies and their impact on the EU. Organised around three main sections – culture, technology and 'tangibles' – the book:
• offers an authoritative 'encyclopaedia' to 'alternative' areas in European integration, from media, football, Erasmus and Tourism, to transport, space, AI and energy;
• retains coverage of the dominant topics in European Studies, such as the Eurozone, the Common Internal Market, or European Law, but in balance with other areas of interest;
• provides an essential companion to existing scholarship in European Studies.
The Routledge Handbook of European Integrations is essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in, and actively concerned about, research in the study of European integration/studies.

This chapter focuses on the governance of dual-use research in neuroscience in the EU. At a time when many countries are making unprecedented investments in the field of neuroscience, which sometimes are described as the 'gold rush' or 'golden age' of neuroscience, the European Commission has been supporting neuroscience – or brain research as it is sometimes called – via its research and innovation FP. In the FP7 that lasted from 2007–2013, the Commission invested €3.1 billion in neuroscience. In the first five years (until November 2018) of the following Horizon 2020 programme, a similar sum of €3.2 billion was invested (European Commission 2019a). This funding supports a number of neuroscience research projects included within the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme.
