The UD participates as a member in OBREAL, an Observatory of Europan Union-Latin America Relations, created by the European Commission.

The main work areas of this Observatory are: the trade and financial relations and regional integration, democracy, human rights, social and development cooperation, global governability and multiregionalism, civil society and institutional strengthening. In addition, there are currently two research groups led by the UD on Dispute Resolution (with the participation of the PhD programme in Migrations and conflict in global society), and on social and solidarity economy (with the participation of the Institute of Cooperative Studies).
