WELCOME TO THE EU-RUSSIA NETWORK
|
EU-Russia
relations and the political space comprising the former Soviet
republics are growing rapidly as areas of academic interest for members
of both the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies
(BASEES) and the University Association for Contemporary Studies
(UACES). The purpose of the EU-Russia Network is:
- To develop academic cooperation between the two associations and to promote their respective profiles
- To promote interdisciplinary research on areas of common interest between the two associations which lead to high quality publications
- To specifically target postgraduate researchers and to provide them with opportunities to present and publish their research
The
Network will focus its academic activities on the economic, political
and security relations of the EU and Russia and will be referenced to
the Four Spaces initiative on (i) Economics, (ii) Security, Freedom and
Justice, (iii) External Security and (iv) Education, Culture and
Research which was agreed between the EU and Russia during 2003-2005.
Planned
activities include the convening of research panels at the BASEES and
UACES annual conferences, workshop and publication activities, and the
creation of an experts database designed to facilitate research
cooperation between the network members.
Should
you wish to become a member of the Network, please contact us for
further information.
