GlocalEAST Erasmus+ strategic partnership in Migration, Diaspora and Border Studies is a three-year project (2020-2023) designed to promote research, practice and political links in addressing migration issues in East-Central Europe, following both transnational and trans-sectoral perspectives. The project embodies the simultaneous creation of an innovative curriculum in Migration, Diaspora and Border Studies and a platform of experts from academic, NGOs and local governmental institutions monitoring migration and integration processes in East-Central Europe.
GlocalEAST Open Days are aimed to gather together researchers and students from all partner universities (Comenius University in Bratislava; University of Bologna; Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas; European University Viadrina; University of Zagreb; University of Belgrade) for a unique opportunity to discuss and frame together issues related to migration and borders in East-Central Europe. Students attending the meeting will be able to know more about their potential involvement in project activities (Summer School; Internships hosted by NGOs, and other associate partners; research period abroad). At the end of the event, a questionnaire will be shared with students, in order to collect their feedbacks and potential interest in participating in project activities.
The Open Days will take place as video conferences via Teams.
